HC Deb 18 June 1906 vol 158 c1380
SIR H. COTTON

I beg to ask the Prime Minister whether, in the representation of India at the next Colonial Conference in 1907, he will take into consideration the advisability of inviting not only a representative official of the Government of India to attend the Conference, but also a representative of the people themselves, chosen, if need be, by the Government from among the non-official members of the Legislative Councils.

THE PRIME MINISTER AND FIRST LORD OF THE TREASURY (Sir H. CAMPBELL-BANNERMAN,) Stirling Burghs

As at present advised we doubt the expediency of the course suggested, but it will be considered.
