HC Deb 03 March 1948 vol 448 c67W
62. Mr. J. Silverman

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies when he is proposing that the unanimous report of the Kenya Asian Civil Service Advisory Board, with regard to the employment of Asiatic members of the Civil Service in that Colony, shall be implemented in view of the fact that the Kenya Government has already given effect to similar reports on the employment of European civil servants.

Mr. Rees-Williams

The Report was published after the East African Salaries Commission had started work and in view of the fundamental nature of the Advisory Board's recommendations the Government referred the matter to the Commission. In the light of their reply the Government decided that it would be in the best interests of all concerned to await the more comprehensive recommendations of the Salaries Commission. Interim relief has been given to members of the Asian Civil Service.
