HC Deb 22 April 1953 vol 514 c60W
52. Mr. N. Macpherson

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies when payments of grants under the war damage compensation schemes in Far Eastern territories will be finally completed.

Mr. Lyttelton

The Malayan War Damage Commission expects to complete all payments in 1955. Sarawak and North Borneo payments are complete except, in the latter, for some 700 restoration awards which depend upon completion of rebuilding by claimants.
