HC Deb 10 March 1927 vol 203 cc1367-8
81. Mr. SCURR

asked the Under-Secretary of State for India whether it is the intention of the Government of India to present the Slavery Convention, recently signed at Geneva, to the Indian Legislature for ratification during the present Session of that body?

Earl WINTERTON

The reply is in the negative, but action can be taken without submission to the Legislature, and the Government of India have agreed to ratification subject to certain reservations which were made at Geneva when the Convention was signed.
