. McENTEEasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he will issue as a White Paper the Kenya Native Lands Trust Ordinance, 1930, and rules thereunder, and the amending Ordinance, 1932?
§ Sir P. CUNLIFFE-LISTERNo, Sir. Copies of these Ordinances are available for reference in the Library of the House in accordance with the undertaking I gave. They are also available in the Colonial Office Library; they may also be purchased from the Crown Agents for the Colonies. I do not think the expense of reprinting them as a White Paper would be justified.

§ Mr. T. WILLIAMSasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he will give an assurance that no lease or licence will be approved under the Native Lands Trust Ordinance, 1930, Section 7, which has been objected to by the local native council or by any African member of the local board concerned?
§ Sir P. CUNLIFFE-LISTERNo, Sir. The section to which the hon. Member refers provides that a lease or licence so objected to shall not be granted without the prior approval of the Secretary of State. I propose to retain the discretion which is vested in me by the Ordinance.
