HC Deb 21 February 1927 vol 202 c1364
1. Mr. W. BAKER

asked the Under-Secretary of State for India whether he is aware that paragraph 166 of the Report of the British delegates to the Seventh Assembly of the League of Nations contains a reservation on behalf of the Government of India in respect of the Slavery Convention; and whether he will state the reasons which made that reservation necessary?

The UNDER-SECRETARY of STATE for INDIA (Earl Winterton)

I will send the hon. Member a copy of the speech made at Geneva by the leader of the Indian delegation, which explains clearly the reasons for the reservation made.
