§ 52. Mr. Sorensenasked the Secretary of State for Commonwealth Relations what information he has received in connection with the negotiations, to which Her Majesty's Government are a party, for a Malaysian Federation respecting the agreement reached between the Tunku Abdul Rahman and the Governments of Indonesia and the Philippines particularly in respect of a referendum on the subject of the Federation; when it is proposed that this shall take place; and whether the Governments of Singapore, Sarawak, Brunei and North Borneo previously or recently have agreed to that proposed referendum.
§ Mr. SandysThe British Government were not, of course, a party to the talks at Manila to which the hon. Member refers, but I am placing in the Library of the House a copy of the communiqué and the report and recommendations 133W of the Conference. It will be seen that these make no mention of a referendum on Malaysia.
