HC Deb 03 February 1954 vol 523 c41W
75. Mr. Brockway

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies if his attention has been called to the protest made by three Government officials in Kenya to the Government Housing Committee against the presence of Asian and African editors at a social function arranged for General Erskine by the Government Press Officer, with the consequence that the latter has had to give up his flat; and if he will take steps to end such racial discriminations.

Mr. Hopkinson

The complaints lodged with the Government Housing Committee related solely to the noise and disturbance caused by some of those attending the party in its later stages. With his consent, the Press Officer was subsequently allotted a house elsewhere in Nairobi.
