Thomas) announced the appointment of a commission consisting of Sir Wilfred Woods, late Financial Secretary in Ceylon, Miss Pickton Turbervilie, and Mr C. A. Willis, late of the Sudan Civil Service, to visit Hongkong and Malaya to investigate the Mui Tsai problem and make recommendations.

Now it would appear that the system has broken out again.
