Mr. WELLOCK
asked the Under-Secretary of State for the Colonies how much money has recently been loaned by the Government of Malaya to the Perak Hydro-Electricity Company?
Dr. SHIELS
The sum recently advanced to the company by the Government of the Federated Malay States is £850,000. It is secured on all the assets of the company in priority to all other charges except the first debentures, and carries interest at 5 per cent.
