HC Deb 05 December 1951 vol 494 cc254-5W
57. Mr. Rankin

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies what proportion of the revenue of Kenya is provided by income tax; and what proportion of this income tax is contributed by Europeans and what proportion by Indians.

Mr. Lennox-Boyd

Approximately one-fifth of the 1951 revenue of Kenya will be provided by income tax. The information asked for in the second half of the Question is not available in the Colonial Office. I have asked the Governor of Kenya to provide it, if it is readily available, and I will write to the hon. Member when his reply is received.
