§ 125. Mr. Awberyasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies if he is aware that, although the declared policy of the Government of Malaya is to encourage the growth of trade unions, petty officials who could do much to encourage a responsible democratic movement show a lack of sympathy and understanding; and if he will take steps to train junior colonial officials with this object in view.
§ Mr. LytteltonNo, and I cannot think that such an attitude would long be tolerated by the Federation Government. The training of their junior officials is entirely a matter for that Government and the hon. Member's suggestion will be brought to their notice.
