§ 41. Mr. Parkerasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he will advise the Government of Kenya to appoint a committee to include African members of Legislative Council together with at least one Colonial Service official with experience of conducting elections 104W with illiterate communities, to consider the means by which elections could be introduced for the African members of Kenya Legislative Council.
§ Mr. CookThe policy of the Government of Kenya is to build up elective self-government on a local basis, thereby training Africans for similar responsibilities on a Colony basis. My right hon. Friend does not consider that the time is yet ripe to take the step proposed by my hon. Friend.
