HC Deb 16 April 1947 vol 436 c12W
Mr. Gammans

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies what plans are proposed for removing from the Cocos-Keeling Islands any of the inhabitants; and where are they going.

Mr. Creech Jones

The removal of some of the inhabitants in their own interest and as a relief to the over-burdened resources of the Islands is under consideration, but detailed proposals have not yet been submitted by the Governor.
