HC Deb 24 November 1954 vol 533 cc123-4W
46. Mr. Wigg

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies what procedure as to evidence and assessment of facts is followed by officers in charge of detention camps in Kenya when trying a detained person charged with an offence against prison regulations.

Mr. Lennox-Boyd

Military Orderly Room procedure is followed, i.e. an accused is charged before the officer-in-charge of the camp and witnesses are called in support of the charge; he may question them and produce witnesses in his defence; the officer-in-charge then assesses the evidence, gives judgment and passes sentence.
