§ Sir A. KNOXasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he is yet in a position to make a further statement on the circumstances attending the death of Mr. T. L. Powys in Kenya?
§ Sir P. CUNLIFFE-LISTERYes, Sir. I have received from the Governor a further report on the history of the case, and a transcript of the shorthand notes 1917W taken at the trial of the natives who stood accused of Mr. Powys's murder. These documents are being placed in the Library of the House; and I am sure that any hon. Member who cares to peruse them will share my own conclusion that the local Government spared no possible effort to elicit the truth, that the conduct of the prosecution was irreproachable, and that there is no case whatever for instituting further inquiries.
