§ 97. Mr. Sorensenasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies if he has a further statement to make in respect of constitutional developments in Malaya and in Singapore, respectively; and what further progress he can report in respect of the suppression of Communist insurgence.
§ Mr. Lennox-BoydI have no statement to make at present about constitutional developments in the Federation of Malaya or in Singapore.
As regards the second part of the Question, I am glad to say that the active strength of the Communist terrorists in Malaya is estimated to have been reduced by about one-third in the course of the last year.
