HC Deb 25 July 1961 vol 645 c35W
Mr. Robert Jenkins

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies why six members of the Consular Corps in Nairobi were allowed to visit Jomo Kenyatta; and what is his policy with regard to the granting of similar permission to other foreign diplomats.

Mr. Iain Macleod

The visit in question was permitted in accordance with the Governor's policy to allow more people to see Kenyatta as indicated in his statement of 1st March. No further visits by members of the Consular Corps are contemplated in the immediate future, but if the matter should arise again, it will be considered in the light of that policy.
