Mr. Alexander gave ho Indica- tion of the Labour policy regard- the arrangements made by the ing the baso, but said that under last Government, the approved work at the Singapore Naval Base would be completed by 1937.

Replying to a supplementary question, Mr. Alexander said that considerable sums for the develop ment of the Base had been recelv- ed from the Dominions and from the Federated Malay States.

Mr. Arthur Henderson, the Foreign Secretary, replied that the contract providing the Naval Mis- sion was negotiated with the ap proval of the last Government,
