asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies how many European settlers have taken up land in Kenya since the end of the war; how many of these are Kenya nationals; how many are ex-Servicemen from outside Kenya; and how many new settlers have arrived to live in Kenya without taking up land for farming.

I am asking the Acting Governor for up-to-date figures and I will send them to my hon. Friend as soon as I receive them.

Can the Secretary of State give the House any information as to the status of the children of European men and women settling in Kenya and taking up land?

I think that all information with regard to settlement and permanent residence in Kenya is supplied by the East African Office. It is now proposed that there should be some immigration legislation, and entries in the future will undoubtedly be controlled.
