§ Mr. Parkerasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he has considered the humble memorial of the members of the Federated Malay States railway clerical service on the subject of the revised 1938 railway clerical scheme, which was forwarded to him on 16th November, 1938; why no reply was given; and whether any action has been or is going to be taken in the matter?
§ Sir T. InskipA copy of the memorial was received direct from the memorialists by my right hon. Friend yesterday, but he has had no time to examine it nor has he yet received the observations of the High Commissioner upon it. He will communicate with the High Commissioner in the matter with a view to giving it early and full consideration.
