§ 13. Mr. PENNYasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether the arbitrator's award against the Government of Kelantan of £378,000 and costs has yet been paid to the Duff Development Company; if not, will he state the reason, and when be anticipates that payment will be made?
§ Major HENNESSY (for Mr. AMERY)The answer to the first part of the question is in the negative. The Secretary of State has not yet heard from the High Commissioner for the Malay States what steps the Kelantan Government is contemplating in regard to this award. He regrets, therefore, that he is not at present in a position to reply to the last part of this question.
