HC Deb 16 July 1959 vol 609 c47W
56. Mr. Foot

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies how many persons are now detained under emergency powers in Kenya; and how many such persons have been detained for over six, five, four, three, two, and one years, respectively.

Mr. J. Amery

Provisional figures show that 1,133 persons were detained under emergency powers in Kenya on the 30th June. I have asked the Governor to supply the information asked in the second part of the Question and I will write to the hon. and learned Member when I have his reply.
