HC Deb 06 May 1958 vol 587 c96W
78. Mr. Awbery

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies to what extent Government offices in Singapore have been Malayanised; how many heads of Departments have been guaranteed their present positions until they reach the age of retirement; and how many have been repatriated with compensation.

Mr. Lennox-Boyd

The number of expatriate officers filling posts in divisions 1 and 2 of the Public Service in Singapore was reduced from 512 to 333 between 1st January, 1957, and 1st March of this year. The total number of posts in divisions 1 and 2 is about 4,400.

I am asking the Governor for information to answer the second and third parts of the Question and will write to the hon. Member when I get it.
