HC Deb 12 February 1959 vol 599 c224W
8. Mr. Wall

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he will make a statement about the future introduction of the common roll principle in Kenya.

Mr. J. Amery

In creating the specially elected seats my right hon. Friend had in mind the need for some representation in Legislative Council based on the non-communal principle. I do not think that I could usefully make a statement at this stage on the possible future development of this system of representation. This is, however, a subject which could be considered, within the ambit of the present constitution, if suitable discussions were to take place.
