HC Deb 10 December 1946 vol 431 c218W
Mr. Rees-Williams

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies what is the new 10-year plan of education for the peoples of British Malaya.

Mr. Creech Jones

A programme of educational development is being drawn up in Malaya which will be in accord with the intention of His Majesty's Government that the inhabitants of that country shall be afforded the fullest opportunity for self-development. I understand that the Governor of the Malayan Union has recently made a statement on this subject, and I will write to my hon. Friend when its terms are available in this country.
