HC Deb 23 July 1942 vol 382 c154
20. Captain Gammans

asked the Secretary of State for Burma what steps have been taken to give publicity in the United States of America and elsewhere to the statement of the Governor of Burma that the disloyal element in Burma which helped the Japanese in the recent campaign consisted only of approximately 4,000 people out of a population of 14,000,000?

The Secretary of State for Burma (Mr. Amery)

The Governor of Burma's statement has been conveyed fully to the Press in this country and abroad, including the United States. In particular it has been telegraphed to the British Information Service in America.

Captain Gammans

Does the right hon. Gentleman propose that the Governor of Burma should broadcast to the United States and also to this country?

Mr. Amery

He has broadcast to this country. I will make inquiries on the other point.
