§ 47. Mr. Fenner Brockwayasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies if he will take steps to secure that a roundtable conference be held in Kenya, composed of representatives of the four races in the Legislative Council, to remove the economic, social and psychological frustrations of the African people, including land hunger, the uneconomic basis of farming, low wages, high prices, inadequate education, undemocratic local administration and the colour bar.

§ Mr. LytteltonI do not think a roundtable conference of the nature suggested is necessarily the best method of dealing with these problems. Some of them will certainly be covered by the Royal Commission. However, both the Governor of Kenya and I are fully aware of the problems that face Kenya and will adopt whatever methods seem best suited to achieve their solution.
