Brigadier Peto

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies when he will be in a position to make a statement on the question of compensation to owners of rubber in Malaya which was seized by the Japanese during the period of enemy occupation.

Mr. Creech Jones

I would refer the hon. and gallant Member to the statement regarding the setting up of Claims Commissions in the Far East which was circulated with my reply to the hon. Member for Hornsey (Mr. Gammans) on 13th February, 1946. Claims in respect of rubber which was seized by the Japanese will be dealt with in accordance with the terms of that statement.
