Mr John Ede asked the Minister for Commerce and Industry by what method he proposes to let out for development as prawn ponds the area in the Pandan Forest Reserve other than the 200 acres to be reserved for development on a co-operative basis.

Mr J. M. Jumabhoy: Sir, I have not had sufficient time to decide on the method yet.

Mr Lim Choon Mong (Serangoon): Is it true that there have already been many applications for development of this area?

Mr J. M. Jumabhoy: That is so, Sir.

Mr Lim Choon Mong: Is the Minister considering the letting out of the land for development by such applications or is he having the whole question considered afresh?

Mr J. M. Jumabhoy: As I said, Sir, I have not had much time to give the matter thought.
