HC Deb 21 March 1917 vol 91 c1875
1. Sir. J. D. REES

asked the Secretary of State for India whether His Majesty's Government contemplates any action which would result in representatives of the Dominions being given authority to decide questions relating exclusively to the peoples and the administration of India, or to exercise in this behalf any influence denied to representatives of India?

The SECRETARY of STATE for INDIA (Mr. Chamberlain)

No, Sir; no such action is contemplated. No doubt my hon. Friend will know representatives of India are attending of the Imperial War Cabinet and of the Imperial War Conference.

Sir J. D. REES

Has my right hon. Friend seen that there are certain misconceptions on this subject to which expression is given in the Indian Press?
