§ 94. Mr. Teelingasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies if he will make a statement on the present position of Sarawak in view of the telegram sent to the Prime Minister at the beginning of this month by the anti-cession groups in Sarawak, and of the withdrawal of Mr. Anthony Brooke from the Sarawak cession controversy.
§ Mr. J. GriffithsThe position of Sarawak as territory ceded to His Majesty is, of course, not affected by Mr. Brooke's statement, but I naturally welcome his withdrawal from the cession controversy. It is hoped to send an early reply to the telegram addressed to the Prime Minister by the anti-cession group.
