HC Deb 05 June 1957 vol 571 cc97-8W
78. Mr. Brockway

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies if he will make a statement on the political situation in Kenya, particularly in relation to the banning of African meetings, and the reply of the European group in the Legislature to the proposal of the African and Asian groups that African representation should be increased.

Mr. Profumo:

Since talks between the groups have already begun my right hon. Friend does not wish to make any statement at this stage. But I must point out that African political meetings have not been banned. It is proposed to exercise closer control in enforcing the conditions under which they are permitted to take place.
