§ 12. Lieut. - Commander KENWORTHYasked the Secretary of State for India if the report of the Simon Commission is to be translated into the principal foreign and Indian languages?
§ Mr. BENNAs regards translation into Indian languages I am not yet in a position to add anything to the answer I gave to the hon. and gallant Member for Gains-borough on 17th July, of which I am sending my hon. and gallant Friend a copy. As to translation into European languages, careful inquiries which have been made through His Majesty's representatives in foreign countries as to the prospects of sales of such translations have shown that there is little or no prospect of such sales as would induce the publication of special translations by private commercial enterprise. Full commentaries on the report did of course appear at the time of its publication in leading world newspapers.
