§ Mr. Teelingasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether, since it takes at least three days for English newspapers to reach Nairobi and only "The Times" and the "Daily Telegraph" can usually be purchased at bookstalls there, he will consider employing a public relations officer for Kenya in London to give factual information and to correct promptly any exaggerated statements appearing in the London Press; and whether he will arrange Press conferences at the Colonial Office to discuss Kenya questions and how often this will be done.
§ Mr. LytteltonThe employment of a public relations officer for Kenya in London is a matter for the Kenya Government who have, in fact, sent an experienced journalist to London to make available to the Press factual information about the present situation in Kenya. The Press officers of the Colonial Office have also dealt with many inquiries. There is no indication at the moment that regular Press conferences to discuss Kenya questions are desired by the Press, but I am always prepared to give any special help if it is needed.
