HC Deb 22 December 1954 vol 535 c288W
73. Mr. Driberg

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies if he is aware that a colour bar is still imposed at some restaurants in Nairobi; and what steps are being taken to remove such discrimination.

Mr. Lennox-Boyd

Yes, but the situation has greatly improved in recent years. The Kenya Government deprecates the existence of a social colour bar but believes, rightly in my view, that its progressive removal can best be achieved by the continuing development of public opinion.
