Earl WINTERTON

His Majesty's Government have already made clear the conditions in which they would be willing to consider the appointment of the Royal Commission at an earlier date than 1929, and they are constantly watching the progress of events in India When they are satisfied that the conditions which have been defined are present, a decision will be announced.
