HC Deb 16 October 1946 vol 427 c189W
17. Mr. J. Lewis

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies if he is aware that, since the inception of the Malayan Union, the licensed pleaders who formerly practised in the Trengganu courts have been forbidden to practise; and whether he will take steps to protect the rights of these advocates.

Mr. Creech Jones

I have no information on this point and will communicate with my hon. Friend when I receive the report for which I am asking the Governor.
