§ 24. Mr. T. WILLIAMSasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he has any statement to make on the situation in Ceylon?
Mr. J. H. THOMASA General Election is being held in Ceylon. The polling started on 22nd February, and will finish on 7th March. I understand that the elections have on the whole been orderly, but unfortunately there have been two incidents involving loss of life, as to which I am calling for a full report.
