HC Deb 17 November 1959 vol 613 c107W
71. Mr. Stonehouse

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies if he will make a statement on the proposals for the opening-up of the White Highlands in Kenya for non-European farmers and for the development of co-operative farming.

Mr. Iain Macleod

As regards the first part of the Question, I would refer the hon., Member to my reply to my hon. Friend the Member for Haltemprice (Mr. Wall) on the 3rd November.

As regards the second part, the Kenya Government continue to encourage the development of a soundly based cooperative movement, where there is a demand for it, primarily through the provision of advice and help by the Department of the Registrar of Cooperative Societies.
