– in the House of Commons at on 27 March 1935.
Mr Wilfred Paling
, Wentworth
asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he has considered the resolution from the East African National Indian Congress asking for an inquiry into the amounts expended for maintaining white settlement in Kenya and into the advantages or disadvantages arising therefrom; and whether he proposes to take any action?
Mr Philip Lloyd-Greame
, Hendon
I have received a copy of the resolution; but I do not think that any useful purpose would be served by instituting the suggested inquiry. The hon. Member will recollect the very full inquiry conducted by the Joint Select Committee and the general acceptance of its report in all quarters of the House.
Sir Annesley Somerville
, Windsor
Is it not true that the wise development, social and economic, of Kenya and the other territories of East Africa depends largely upon the maintenance of white settlement?
Secretary of State was originally the title given to the two officials who conducted the Royal Correspondence under Elizabeth I. Now it is the title held by some of the more important Government Ministers, for example the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs.
