HC Deb 23 February 1949 vol 461 c288W
78. Mr. J. Hynd

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether it has yet been decided to implement paragraphs 186 and 187 of the Holmes Report providing for overseas leave for Asian officers in the East African Civil Service.

Mr. Creech Jones

Overseas passages for leave purposes are granted to Asian officers by the Governments of Kenya and Uganda. The matter is under consideration with Tanganyika Government. These privileges are granted in Zanzibar to Asians recruited from India but not to locally recruited officers.
