HC Deb 23 April 1947 vol 436 cc1011-2
27. Mr. Gammans

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he will now give a further report on the disturbances in the State of Kedah in Malaya.

Mr. Creech Jones

The Governor of the Malayan Union has informed me that the situation has greatly improved since 12th March, when I replied to an earlier Question by the hon. Member on this subject. I am placing in the Library of the House a summary of the reports which I have received on the general background to the disturbances. A further report on alleged discrimination in wages rates, for which I have called, is still in preparation.
