HC Deb 25 April 1934 vol 288 cc1721-2W
Mr. MAINWARING

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether, in connection with the schemes for the opening of the Kakamega goldfields, regard has been had to the need of allowing adequate space for the housing and for the recreation of the native workers?

Sir P. CUNLIFFE-LISTER

Most of the natives employed in the Kakamega field are drawn from the adjacent villages, and live in their own homes. The arrangements for housing those who have come from a distance are satisfactory. The hon. Member may rest assured that the Administration will insure satisfactory arrangements for any future developments that may take place; and it is fair to add that the mining companies have shown themselves very ready to co-operate in the interests of their employés.
