§ Mr. R. Morganasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he can make a statement as to the position of the Liebeg meat industry in Kenya; whether it is now functioning or intends to function in future; and whether any charges are made against the local administration for failure to help the industry?
Mr. M. MacDonaldThe factory, which started operation in February, 1938, has been closed temporarily owing to shortage of supplies of cattle. I understand that there has been local criticism of Government in connection with supplies to the factory, and am communicating with the Governor on the subject.
