HC Deb 30 March 1925 vol 182 c915
5. Mr. SCURR

asked the Under-Secretary of State for India whether he is in a position to state what action His Majesty's Government proposes to take on the Report of the Muddiman Committee?

Earl WINTERTON

I am not yet in a position to make any statement on this subject.

Colonel WEDGWOOD

As this will be one of the subjects discussed with Lord Reading may I ask whether there is any intention of securing a general agreement in all parts of the House or will it be made a party issue?

Earl WINTERTON

I do not think that arises out of the question on the Paper.

Colonel WEDGWOOD

I presume that the Noble Lord will not be in a position to make any statement until he has seen the Viceroy?

Earl WINTERTON

Obviously I think that follows.
