36. Mr. Skinnard

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies how many locally recruited officers are serving in administrative position in Government service in the Federation of Malaya and in Singapore; and what provision exists for the holding of entrance examinations locally for the recruitment of Asiatics of the same standard as Europeans.

Mr. Rees-Williams

I am in communication with the Malayan Governments on this matter, and will write to my hon. Friend as soon as I have the necessary information.
