HC Deb 18 December 1958 vol 597 cc273-4W
Mr. Stonehouse

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies if he will arrange for an independent inquiry into the conditions at Kamiti Prison, Nairobi, in view of the charges about ill-treatment of prisoners made by Captain E. Law in a report, a copy of which has been sent to him by the hon. Member for Wednesbury.

Mr. Lennox-Boyd
