Parliamentary Delegation (Report)

12.

Mr. Rankin
asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies if he will place additional copies of Appendix II of the Report on Kenya in the Library.

Mr. J. Foster
Further copies have now been placed in the Library.

Mr. Rankin
May I thank the Minister for the speed with which he moved after the Question was put down?

Mr. Beresford Craddock
Will my hon. and learned Friend consider giving greater general publicity to the facts in Appendix II, so that the people in the country know the real truth of these matters?

Mr. Foster
My hon. Friend will remember that my right hon. Friend said that he would be prepared to publish Appendix II, to which this Question is directed, if the House so wished.

Mr. E. Wakefield
Has my hon. and learned Friend considered sending copies of Appendix II to foreign embassies for transmission to their Governments?

Mr. Foster
I will bring that suggestion to the notice of my right hon. Friend.

Mr. Rankin
Is the Minister aware that a great deal of the material covered by the Appendix will be found in "The Golden Bough"?

Mr. Nicholson
Would my hon. and learned Friend agree that the information contained in this Appendix is essential for anyone desiring to grasp the true nature of the situation in Kenya, and as it is of such a shattering nature that it ought to be disseminated with care, will the Minister send it to newspaper editors as well to everybody else?
