HC Deb 13 February 1957 vol 564 c184W
Mr. Brockway

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies if amended legislation has been introduced in Kenya to provide for the full representation of African producers on the Coffee Marketing Board; and what is the number of African producers who are now full members of the Board.

Mr. Lennox-Boyd

The Coffee Marketing Board, in consultation with the Coffee Board of Kenya, are preparing, in accordance with a resolution passed unanimously at the last Annual Coffee Conference, recommendations for legislation providing full representation of African producers on the Board. Those recommendations will be considered at the 1957 Annual Coffee Conference and it is hoped thereafter to introduce the necessary legislation. The second part of the question does not, therefore, yet arise.
