HC Deb 15 June 1925 vol 185 cc8-9
23. Mr. CECIL WILSON

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether the comprehensive Report from the Governor of Singapore in regard to improvement in housing and sanitary conditions and the amount spent on improvements has yet been received, or when it may be expected?

The UNDER-SECRETARY of STATE for the COLONIES (Mr. Ormsby-Gore)

No, Sir; I have not yet received from the Governor of the Straits Settlements the comprehensive report on the matters mentioned in this question. The hon. Member will doubtless recollect that I informed him on the 2nd March last that I would communicate further with him as soon as the Report was received.

24. Mr. WILSON

also asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether the Report of the Governor of Singapore in regard to the Commission of 1917, and the action taken thereon and its effect, has yet been received or when it may be expected?

Mr. ORMSBY-GORE

No, Sir; the Report referred to by the hon. Member has not yet been received. I expect, however, to receive it at an early date.
