HC Deb 17 December 1946 vol 431 cc1742-3
20. Mr. Driberg

asked the Secretary of State for War if he will take steps to improve living conditions in Ayer Raja Camp, Singapore, detailed complaints concerning which have been forwarded to him by the hon. Member for Maldon.

Mr. Bellenger

I am making inquiries and will write to my hon. Friend.

Mr. Driberg

Can my right hon. Friend say roughly how long the inquiry will take?

Mr. Bellenger

I do not know. I have asked for a quick reply.

Mr. Callaghan

Is my right hon. Friend aware that we have been making representations about Singapore since last May, and is it not time that we got some of these things improved?

Mr. Bellenger

My hon. Friend must not think that his representations do not result in some improvement being made.
