HC Deb 22 March 1950 vol 472 c116W
62. Mr. Driberg

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies on what grounds the historical and constitutional survey entitled "Africa: Britain's Third Empire," by George Padmore, has been banned in Kenya; and if he will cause this ban to be lifted.

Mr. Griffiths

This action was taken by the Governor under Section 53 of the Penal Code on the grounds that the importation of this publication would be contrary to the public interest. The decision is one for the Governor of Kenya.
