Duchess of ATHOLL

asked the Under-Secretary of State for the Colonies if any steps, other than those he has already reported to the House are being taken by the Government of Kenya to prevent the practice of the circumcision of girls?

Dr. SHIELS

My Noble Friend the Secretary of State for the Colonies has communicated fully with the Governor of Kenya upon this subject, but there has not yet been time for him to hear what further steps the Colonial Government would now feel able to take in the matter.
