§ Mr. TAYLORasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether the 21 residential plots in the lighthouse area of Mombasa, which were advertised for sale by public auction early last year on terms which permitted only non-Asiatics to bid or to live on the plots so disposed of, have yet been sold; and, if not, whether, in view of the fact that it was laid down in the Government White Paper of 1923 that the Government would no longer approve of a policy of segregation of Asiatics in the Kenya townships, the Government will reconsider the matter with a view to the withdrawal of their consent to the above sale?
§ Mr. AMERYI have not been informed whether the plots have been sold. The answer to the second part of the question is in the negative, and I would refer the hon. Member to the explanation of the legal difficulties given in the reply to the question of the right hon. and gallant Member for Newcastle-under-Lyme (Colonel Wedgwood) on the 10th June last year.
