asked the Undersecretary of State for the Colonies what arrangements the municipality of Malacca proposes to make for the supply of electricity to the town and settlement of Malacca when the contract of the Malacca Electric Lighting, Limited, expires in April, 1942?

The Governor of the Straits Settlements has reported to my Noble Friend that on the expiry of the company's licence the Muncipal Commissioners, Malacca, intend to substitute a municipal supply.
