HC Deb 02 February 1955 vol 536 c121W
96. Mr. Rankin

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether the Governments of Kenya and Tanganyika have now studied the work of the Extra-Mural Department of the University College of East Africa; and what action they are prepared to take in their own Territories.

Mr. Lennox-Boyd

I wrote to the hon. Member on 26th October last informing him of the views of the Governors of Kenya and Tanganyika. I now understand that the Kenya Government is considering the provision of funds; the Governor of Tanganyika is doubtful whether the establishment of extra-mural work in that Territory is immediately practicable but similar activities are being undertaken by other bodies.
