HC Deb 03 February 1958 vol 581 c140W
Mrs. White

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies to what extent it is proposed to purchase cattle from African farmers at the meat canning factory at Athi River, Kenya; and what special conditions will be imposed.

Mr. Lennox-Boyd

If supplies are available as estimated, it is hoped to purchase up to 1,000 head of cattle per month from African areas. I am asking the Acting Governor whether any special conditions will be imposed and will circulate a further reply in the OFFICIAL REPORT.
