HC Deb 26 October 1965 vol 718 c41W
Mr. Wall

asked the Minister of Overseas Development if she will make a statement on her talks with the Kenya Ministers and proposals for land resettlement and consolidation in Kenya.

Mrs. Castle

Kenya Ministers have accepted my invitation to come to London in the week beginning 8th November for discussions on the final Report of the Stamp Mission.

Mr. Wall

asked the Minister of Overseas Development what are the criteria used in judging whether Kenya farmers should receive assistance or have their farms purchased as compassionate cases.

Mrs. Castle

The considerations which have been applied are the degree of exposure to special risks because of old age, infirmity or isolation, and financial inability to leave their farms unless the farms are sold. The farmers must also be citizens of the United Kingdom and Colonies.
