HC Deb 30 July 1958 vol 592 c144W
90. Mr. J. Johnson

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether, in view of the growing unemployment in Mauritius, he will consider recruitment of Mauritians with the King's African Rifles.

Mr. Profumo

The King's African Rifles are raised under the legislation of the three East African territories of Kenya, Uganda and Tanganyika, and are administered and financed by these territories. It is therefore for those Governments to decide whether to recruit Mauritians into their forces.
