HC Deb 02 June 1919 vol 116 c1663
31. Colonel YATE

asked when the Report of Lord Crewe's Committee on the India Office will be published; and whether the Report of this Committee will affect the provisions of the Government of India Bill as introduced by the Government?

Mr. PRATT

I would refer my hon. and gallant Friend to Paragraph XXIII. of the Explanatory Memorandum issued with the Government of India Bill. It is intended that the Report of Lord Crewe's Committee should be ready in good time before the Bill is considered in Joint Committee.

Colonel YATE

Does that mean that if any additions are found to be necessary they can be put in after the Second Reading of the Bill?

Mr. PRATT

I cannot add anything to the answer which has been already given.
