HC Deb 17 December 1928 vol 223 c2589
12. Mr. L'ESTRANGE MALONE

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he has any statement to make regarding the policy of His Majesty's Government towards the constitution of Ceylon?

Mr. AMERY

I cannot at present add anything to the reply given to the hon. Member on the 19th November.

Mr. MALONE

Will the right hon. Gentleman assure the House that he will not allow the views of a minority in Ceylon to prevent the granting of the franchise to the majority?

Mr. AMERY

I will certainly consider very carefully all relevant matters.
