HC Deb 05 March 1936 vol 309 cc1585-6W
Mr. E. J. WILLIAMS

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he has considered a petition from representatives of the Kikuyu tribe in Kenya, dated from Kiambu, 5th November, 1935, in which, inter alia, the request is made that natives should be allowed to sit on the Native Lands Trust Board and, in the event of the board meeting in Kenya, should be authorised to communicate direct with His Majesty's Government in London; and whether he will accede to this request?

Mr. THOMAS

I have not received any such petition.
