HC Deb 01 August 1957 vol 574 cc236-7W
51. Captain Kerby

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies if he is aware that Mr. G. S. L. Griffiths, a former British Regular Army officer seconded to the King's African Rifles, was cashiered following court martial in 1954 and served three years and four months in prison in the United Kingdom, earning full remission for good conduct; if he is further aware that Mr. Griffiths has now been declared a prohibited immigrant by the Kenya Government and refused permission to visit his wife at their farm in Nanyuki; and whether in these circumstances he will now instruct the Governor of Kenya to grant Mr. Griffiths a temporary permit to return to his wife and home in order to wind up their affairs in that colony.

Mr. Lennox-Boyd

Under Section 11 (2)of the Kenya Immigration Regulations, 1957, temporary entry passes are issued at the discretion of the Principal Immigration Officer and I am not in a position to intervene.
