HC Deb 07 May 1958 vol 587 c101W
12. Mr. Stonehouse

asked the Secretary of State for War for what reasons a battalion of the York and Lancaster Regiment has been sent to Kenya; and whether this reinforcement has been requested by the Kenya Government.

Mr. J. Amery

The move was not made at the request of the Kenya Government. The battalion was sent out as a precaution against possible further trouble in the Aden Protectorate.
