§ Mr. FisherThirty-two cases have been notified. Nineteen pirates have been arrested and convicted.
§ Mr. TurnerMay I congratulate my hon. Friend and the North Borneo Government on the tremendous visible efforts that have been made since I last raised this case with his right hon. Friend's predecessor? I am certain that this visible effort by the armed forces to put down piracy is greatly appreciated by the people of North Borneo?
