HC Deb 07 July 1927 vol 208 cc1427-8
31. Colonel DAY

asked the Under-Secretary of State for India whether he has received a report of the conference which took place at Mount Abu, on 27th June, between the representatives of the Government of India and the maritime States in the Kathiawar Peninsula; whether he will give the names of the States chiefly concerned which were represented at the conference; whether any decisions were arrived at; and can he make a statement?

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

My Noble Friend is aware that at the recent conference held at Mount Abu an agreement was not reached, but as a full report of the proceedings has not yet been received I am not in a position to make a statement. The States chiefly concerned were Nawangar, Morvi, Junagadh, Porbandar and Baroda.

Colonel DAY

Is the Noble Lord in a position to say if the Report will be published?

Earl WINTERTON

I am not in a position to state at the moment whether the Report of the proceedings will be published or not.
