HC Deb 06 April 1965 vol 710 c43W
38. Mr. Wall

asked the Minister of Overseas Development if she will make a statement on the Stamp Commission's report on European farms in Kenya.

Mrs. Castle

The Stamp Mission has, of course, a great deal of material to consider and the issues are big and complex. Furthermore I understand that the Kenya Government have only recently put to the Mission their final views on the future of European mixed farms in Kenya. The Mission is naturally bound to take full account of these views in preparing its report. The Mission's full report is now not likely to be ready until June but the Mission is aiming to let me have an interim report by the end of April or early May. It is my intention to enter into discussions with the Kenya Government as soon as possible thereafter. I cannot of course at present forecast when it will be possible to reach a final decision.
