I have been asked to reply. For the purpose of the discussion in East Africa of the Hilton Young Re-port, the Governor of Kenya, with my approval, offered to appoint temporarily to the public service in Kenya, with a seat on the Executive Council, an officer of the Indian Civil Service to be nominated by the Viceroy of India.
