§ Sir P. Macdonaldasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he is aware that the decision of the Governors of Singapore and the Malayan Union to impose a 20 per cent. Company Profits Tax, in addition to Income Tax, is contrary to the advice of the Advisory Councils, which urged postponement of a decision [...]ntil the new Legislatures meet early next year; whether this decision of the Governors to over-ride the provisional Malayan Parliamentary organisation was taken after consultation with him; and whether he will make a full statement on the subject.
§ Mr. Rees-WilliamsI would refer the hon. Member to the reply I gave on 10th December to the hon. Member for Altrincham and Sale (Mr. Erroll).
