Fletcherasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies if he is aware that casualties among those managers responsible for production of rubber and tin in Malaya are practically irreplaceable; that new recruitment for these positions is increasingly difficult; and whether he will ensure that better protection from banditry for such managers will be forthcoming.
