§ 78. Mr. Irvineasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies the reasons for the refusal of the Government Chief Secretary in Kenya to give an interview to Mr. Peter Wright.
§ Mr. LytteltonMr. Wright had been granted an interview with the Director of Education, and the Chief Secretary considered that a further interview would serve no useful purpose.
§ 79. Mr. Irvineasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies what information he has as to what took place at the meeting in June attended by leaders of subversive activities in Kenya at which Mr. Peter Wright was present; and as to what was said or done by Mr. Wright at the meeting.
§ Mr. LytteltonI am making further inquiries in the light of Mr. Wright's statement.
As I said in my reply to a Question on 12th November, the attendance at this meeting was only one instance of his engaging in political activities. I will make a fuller statement as soon as I can.
