Colonel WEDGWOODasked the Secretary of State for India whether His Majesty's Government intend to summon the round-table conference even if there is no prospect of representative Hindu politicians accepting nomination to such conference or before the civil disobedience campaign has terminated?
§ Mr. BENNThe policy of His Majesty's Government in relation to the Conference is contained in the Viceroy's speech of the 9th July. Nothing has occurred since then to suggest any need for qualifying his statement.

§ Mr. SPEAKERThat is a hypothetical question.
§ 49. Mr. WARDLAW-MILNEasked the Secretary of State for India if he is now in a position to state what will be the character of the British representation at the round-table Conference in October next?
