HC Deb 06 December 1951 vol 494 c314W
132. Major Anstruther-Gray

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he is aware that all male persons of all races in Kenya have been ordered to register for compulsory fingerprinting, and, since this procedure is contrary to peace, order and good government throughout the Colony, if he will countermand it at once.

Mr. Lennox-Boyd

The answer to the first part of the Question is Yes. This is a matter entirely within the discretion of the Kenya Legislative Council, which has discussed this point at length.
