§ Captain Trevor Coxasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies when he expects to publish further lists giving names of British civilians captured at Singapore and if these lists will be comprehensive?
§ Colonel Stanley:Up to the present no lists of civilian internees in Malaya have been received. Information has been received from the Japanese Government that full lists of prisoners of war and civilian internees are being compiled, but that owing to movements of prisoners of war there will be some delay before the lists are completed. The names of about 600 members of the local volunteer forces and eight civilians have appeared in the 80W lists of prisoners of war received by the War Office up to date. The next of kin where known have been notified.
