§ 55. Mr. Swinglerasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies, in the case of those Kenya detainees who are classified as hard-core detainees, on what evidence they are so classified; what steps have been taken to sift this evidence; and by what means they may qualify for release.

Their policy in this follows the recommendations of the Fairn Committee. Release depends not only on the evidence available at the time of detention, but on a man's record, during detention.110W including his attitude towards rehabilitation, and on whether he still presents a danger to security in his home area and in the Colony generally.
