asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies if he will publish a list giving the names of the established and temporary members of the administrative services of Kenya who own land in that Colony.

As I explained on 7th February, in reply to my hon. Friend the Member for Gravesend (Sir R. Acland), under Colonial Regulations an official may be given permission to acquire land only if it is clear that his private affairs would not by reason of such acquisition be brought into conflict with his public duties. In the circumstances I see no reason for publishing such a list.
