HC Deb 04 July 1927 vol 208 c878W
Mr. RENNIE SMITH

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies the total acreage of land alienated to Europeans in Kenya and the total in occupation; and what amount of land is still available for alienation to Europeans?

Mr. AMERY

I am unable to give exact areas, and the following figures, which relate to surveyed land only, must be taken as approximate:

  • Alienated.—6,000,000 acres.
  • Under occupation.—4,750,000 acres.
  • Remaining available for alienation.—1,500,000 acres.
