§ Mr. DAYasked the Under-Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he has received any recent reports from the Colony of Kenya with reference to the proposed destruction of Kaniki forest, which is in the neighbourhood of Kahawa, or whether it is proposed to destroy this forest; and has any report been made by the Forest Department in Kenya since 1927 on the policy of forest regeneration and re-afforestation?
§ Dr. SHIELSMy Noble Friend has not received any report from the Governor of Kenya regarding the proposed destruction of the Kaniki forest, nor is he aware of any such proposal. He has not yet received any report by the Forest Department on forest regeneration and reafforestation since that contained in the Annual Report of the Department for 1927, a copy of which is in the Library of the House.
