§ Mr. Brockwayasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies what proposals are being considered for constitutional association, by federation or other means, between Brunei, Sarawak and North Borneo.
§ Mr. Lennox-BoydI would refer the hon. Member to the relevant part of the reply given to the hon. Member for Leyton (Mr. Sorensen)on 25th July.
There are at present no formal or official proposals for closer association before the peoples of the territories, but the subject is naturally one of interest both to the people and the Governments of the Borneo territories.
