55. Dr. D. Johnson

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies what advice Her Majesty's Government have given to the Malayan Government in regard to that Government's membership of the South-East Asia Treaty Organisation.

None. The decision whether to join this organisation is entirely one for the free choice of the Federation Government after the Federation has bcome independent.
