HC Deb 28 March 1956 vol 550 c205W
64. Mr. Hastings

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies how many children are now domiciled in the Children's Rehabilitation Centre in the Kiambu Reserve, Kenya; how many of these are still suffering from malnutrition; and what is the average daily ration of milk given to these children

Mr. Hare

On 24th March there were 250 children in the Dagoretti Reception Camp. Approximately three-quarters of the children admitted to this camp have in the past been found to be suffering a degree of malnutrition. They receive a full balanced diet, including three-quarters of a pint of milk daily, and do not leave the camp until their physical condition is satisfactory and the authorities are satisfied that they have homes to go to.
