HC Deb 11 December 1968 vol 775 cc149-50W
97. Mr. Buchanan

asked the Secretary of State for Defence if he will seek to ensure that the Changi murals in our base in Singapore will be preserved, and the buildings maintained and made readily accessible to visitors, particularly ex-Service personnel, after the withdrawal from the Singapore base.

99. Mr. Howie

asked the Secretary of State for Defence what arrangements are being made for the preservation of the Changi murals in the British base in Singapore after the United Kingdom's withdrawal from the Far East and for maintaining their accessibility to ex-Service visitors from this country.

Mr. Healey

I have arranged for a full study to be made of the best method of preserving these murals, if this can reasonably be done, and of maintaining access to them by interested members of the British public. This will inevitably take a little time, and I will write to my hon. Friends when it is complete.
