HC Deb 27 May 1963 vol 678 cc83-6W
Mr. Fenner Brockway

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies, if he will publish the population figures for each of the proposed constituencies in Kenya.

Mr. Sandys

pursuant to his reply of 12th February [OFFICIAL REPORT, Vol. 671, c. 173] supplied the following information:

The following table shows the populalation of 76 of the 117 constituencies delimited by the Kenya Constituencies Delimitation Commission. The names and numbers of the constituencies correspond with those given in the Report of the Commission (Cmnd. 1921). Precise population figures are not available for 41 constituencies (Marked NA in the table), since the boundaries of those constituencies do not correspond with the boundaries of the population census areas.
