ultimate power rested with the Governor, who was answerable to London

Foreign Office: under the Duke of Devonshire, p. 19
Delamere's "Vigilance Committee" to London, compromise:
highlands to remain exclusively white in perpetuity;
no Indian immigration
only a very limited representation of Asians on the Legislative Council;
1920s: Kenya secured for the whites, and the beginning of a more flamboyant, expansive age;
Beginning of the expansive bungalow mansions, in the "Surrey Tudor" style, see elsewhere.
