HC Deb 09 February 1944 vol 396 c1782W
Mr. Harvey

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether the Report of the Commission on the recent food shortage in Kenya is available in this country; and whether he will issue a summary of its conclusions and recommendations and state what action is to be taken in consequence.

Mr. Emyrs-Evans

I have been asked to reply. The Report of the Commission of Inquiry on the food shortage in Kenya has reached me, and a copy has been placed in the library of the House. A summary of the conclusions and recommendations will be found on page 93. I understand that the Report is being debated in the present session of the Legislative Council. My right hon. and gallant Friend has not yet received the recommendations of the Kenya Government as to the action to be taken on the recommendations.
