Brigadier-General BROWNasked the Secretary, of State for the Colonies, whether, in view of the improvement in the economic and financial conditions of Malaya, he will now consider restoring the cuts in salary and allowances of the 450 Malayan Government's Professional Officers' Association to the scale recommended by the Bucknill Commission in 1919?
§ Mr. ORMSBY-GOREThe facts are that certain temporary allowances drawn by public servants in Malaya were suppressed as a measure of economy in 1932, and that my predecessor at the time undertook to review the whole matter, in consultation with the local Governments, when economic circumstances should permit. The position is at present under consideration.
