§ Mr. SIMONasked whether His Majesty's Government propose to take any practical step to show their appreciation of the self-sacrifice of Dr. Lalcaca?
The MASTER of ELIBANKI have already expressed to the House on behalf of the Government their deep appreciation of Dr. Lalcaca's heroic action, and explained that the circumstances of the case are such that appreciation could not appropriately be marked by a money grant to, his surviving relatives. I can now add that the Government of Bombay have been authorised to contribute from public funds a sum of £100 to a memorial for which subscriptions are being collected in Bombay.
