§ 122. Mr. Gerald Williamsasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies when wives of British people working in Malaya, who are already on the shipping priority list, will be allowed to go to Malaya.
§ Mr. George Hall:I would refer the hon. Member to the reply which I gave on the 13th February to the hon. Member for Hornsey (Mr. Gammans). Though his question referred only to the wives of European Government servants, my answer to it applies equally to the wives of other Europeans working in Malaya. As soon as permission to enter Malaya is given to individuals, on the conditions I then mentioned, passages will be provided as rapidly as the shipping situation permits.
