HC Deb 06 August 1947 vol 441 cc159-60W
4. Mr. W. Fletcher

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he can give further information on Item 118 in Colonial Research Reports, 1946–47, providing for the visit of a member of the London School of Economics to study the economics of rubber smallholdings in Malaya.

Mr. Creech Jones

A visit to Malaya for the purposes stated by the hon. Member was made during the latter half of 1946 by Mr. P. T. Bauer, a lecturer at the London School of Economics. Mr. Bauer has made a report, and I have referred it to the Governor of the Malayan Union for his observations.
