HC Deb 18 November 1926 vol 199 c1968
64. Mr. SCURR

asked the Under-Secretary of State for India whether any nominations have yet been made to the four additional council seats recently created by the Government of India for the special representation of Labour?

Earl WINTERTON

The answer is in the negative, for nominated seats are not filled until the elections to fill the elective seats are completed, which is not yet the Case.

Mr. LANSBURY

Will the Government of India, in making the selection, consult what there is of the trade union organisation in India?

Earl WINTERTON

I can give no such undertaking, but no doubt the Government of India will have regard to all the relevant circumstances of the case.
