Oral Answers to Questions — African Colonies – in the House of Commons am 12:00 am ar 5 Mawrth 1947.
asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies if he will secure and publish the evidence in support of the Kenya Attorney-General's contention in the Legislative Council that systematic underground intimidation took place during the recent strike in Mombasa.
Mr. Creech Jones:
From the evidence I have seen, I am satisfied that intimidation was pursued in the case of many workers out of sympathy with the strikers during the Mombasa strike. I see no need to publish the evidence.
Will not the Secretary of State at least make this available to the House by leaving a copy in the Library?
Mr. Creech Jones:
I am quite prepared to acquaint the hon. Member with the facts.
