All government records relating to the colonial period in Kenya are available in the National Archives. The Kenyan National Archives also hold materials relating to this period. On 6 June the Foreign Secretary announced a settlement with Leigh Day on behalf of 5,228 Kenyan citizens who lived through the Emergency Period, and issued a statement of regret. This will aid reconciliation. Anyone who wishes to bring a claim in the courts has the right to do so.
To ask Her Majesty’s Government how many deaths occurred during the Kenya emergency; how many were caused by the Mau Mau and the security forces respectively; and how many people were judicially executed.[HL902]

Estimates of the numbers of those killed vary enormously so it is difficult to give exact figures. We estimate that over 11,000 Mau Mau members were killed during the Emergency Period, and the Mau Mau were responsible for over 2,000 deaths of whom 1,800 were Kenyans. Academic research suggests that 1,090 Mau Mau were judicially executed.
To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether they intend to set a time or other limit to claims and limits to future individual and overall compensation amounts in respect of the Kenya emergency.[HL903]

My right honourable friend the Foreign Secretary’s Statement on 6 June, Official Report, column 1692, sets out the terms of the settlement agreed with Leigh Day on behalf of 5,228 Kenyans. Under the Limitation Act 1980, the court has discretion, in certain circumstances and on a case by case basis, to exclude the usual time limit in respect of claims of personal injury and death. There is an absolute time
bar for events that occurred before 4 June 1954. Those who wish to bring a claim under the UK courts have the right to do so and we will continue to judge current and future cases on their merits, and to reserve our right to defend them.
