HC Deb 24 October 1956 vol 558 cc27-8W
17. Mr. W. T. Williams

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies what representations have been made to his Department by the Christian Council of Kenya regarding abuses of power by the Government's servants in Kenya; and what reply has been sent to the Council's request for an all-party parliamentary delegation to visit Kenya and inquire into such abuses.

Mr. Lennox-Boyd

The reply to the first part of the Question is "None". On the second part of the Question, I am glad to be able to inform the House that the Kenya Branch of the Commonwealth Parliamentary Association has invited the United Kingdom Branch to send a delegation to the Colony for three weeks from mid-November for a general visit, and that this invitation has been accepted.
