HC Deb 17 November 1930 vol 245 c66W
Mr. HORRABIN

asked the Under-Secretary of State for the Colonies whether any source of information is accessible as to the actual public expenditure on African education in Kenya, as distinct from Arab, Indian, or European education, in the years 1927, 1928, and 1929, respectively?

Dr. SHIELS

I would refer my hon. Friend to the reply given on 6th November, 1929 [OFFICIAL REPORT, COL 1030, Vol. 231], to my hon. and gallant Friend the Member for South Derbyshire (Major Pole). The figures for expenditure on Arab and African education have not hitherto been shown separately by the Government of Kenya, hut, as stated in reply to my hon. Friend on 12th November, my Noble Friend the Secretary of State for the Colonies hopes that it may be possible for this expenditure to be shown separately in the Estimates for 1932 and subsequent years. He will, however, inquire of the Acting Governor of Kenya whether it is now practicable to separate the expenditure on Arab and African education for the years 1927, 1928 and 1929, and on receipt of the Acting Governor's reply he will communicate with my hon. Friend.
