HC Deb 27 April 1955 vol 540 c929
41. Mr. G. Longden

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether the recommendations of a Select Committee of the Federal Legislature on the transport industry in Malaya have been accepted by the Government of the Federation.

Mr. Lennox-Boyd

These recommendations are to be considered by the Federal Legislative Council next month.

Mr. Longden

Would my right hon. Friend not agree that the progress of Malaya in these matters and in industry generally should not necessarily be held up while other communities catch up?

Mr. Lennox-Boyd

Yes, Sir, I am anxious to encourage Malayan participation in industry and I shall await the discussion with the greatest interest.
