HC Deb 24 January 1951 vol 483 c31W
103. Mr. Awbery

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies how many civil servants have been appointed, in all grades, in Malaya during the past three years; and how many of them are Asians.

Mr. J. Griffiths

I regret that it has not been possible to compile figures of all the appointments made throughout the Civil Service in Malaya during the past three years. This would entail much research which cannot be undertaken in the present state of the emergency in Malaya. The very great majority of appointments are of course Asian.
