HC Deb 19 April 1950 vol 474 c127
34. Mr. Gammans

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies when he expects to pay his visit to Malaya; how long he expects to remain there; and whether he will take this opportunity to visit Hong Kong.

Mr. Cook

My right hon. Friend is now hoping a visit may be possible about Whitsuntide. What length of time he will have is not yet certain; but he will certainly consider including Hong Kong in his tour if possible.

Mr. Gammans

Will the right hon. Gentleman see that he remains in Malaya sufficiently long to visit all parts of the country?

Mr. Emrys Hughes

Will the Minister advise his right hon. Friend to visit some of the 6,000 people reported to be in gaol in Malaya, to find out their point of view?
