Northern District

HC Deb 07 May 1963 vol 677 cc41-2W

77. Mr. E. L. Mallalieu

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies if he will make a statement on the position in the Northern district of Kenya.

Mr. Fisher

Apart from one or two isolated incidents, following the announcement that the predominantly Somali areas of the Northern Frontier District would be formed into a separate region (the North Eastern Region), the security situation throughout the District as a whole is normal.

No nominations were made in the North Eastern Region for any seats in the Regional Assembly, the House of Representatives or the Senate, and the implications of this are being considered.
