HC Deb 02 November 1949 vol 469 cc379-80
15. Mr. Pickthorn

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies what answer has been given to the request by the Federal Legislative Council of Malaya that Malaya should have its own representative on the International Rubber Study Group.

Mr. Creech Jones

A statement containing the answer to this request by the Federal Legislative Council will be made at the next meeting of that Council on 15th November; and I should prefer not to anticipate that statement now.

Mr. Pickthorn

May I remind the right hon. Gentleman of the correct use of the word "anticipate"?
