HC Deb 30 October 1934 vol 293 c45W
Dr. O'DONOVAN

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies the nature of the report of the Kenya Government on the suggested scientific research work by Dr. Gordon; and what is the attitude of his Department on the subject?

Sir P. CUNLIFFE-LISTER

The Governor of Kenya has no doubt that the institution of research on the lines foreshadowed by Dr. Gordon would assist in the solution of many of the administrative, social and political problems of the Colony, though he adds that the state of the Colony's finances is still such as to make it impossible for the Colonial Government to find the necessary funds. I am considering whether there is any means by which the question can be further investigated.
