HC Deb 29 October 1957 vol 575 c24W
111. Mr. Awbery

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies what representations have been made to the Chief Minister of Singapore requesting the release of Dr. Chuang Chu-lin, Principal of Chung Cheng High School, from detention and the reversal of the banishment order made against him.

Mr. Profumo

The Chief Minister of Singapore received a few representations of behalf of Dr. Chuang; these, together with other representations supporting the Government's action, were carefully considered before the final order of banishment was made. Since then two representations have been received asking for the order of banishment to be cancelled as an act of mercy.
