HC Deb 29 June 1931 vol 254 cc863-4
6. Mr. FREEMAN

asked the Secretary of State for India whether it is his intention to summon a Minorities Committee to meet in India or London in the near future?

Mr. BENN

I am not at present in a position to say when the next meeting of the Minorities Committee of the Round Table Conference will be held.

Mr. FREEMAN

Is it the intention to set up a Minorities Committee to consider this question?

Mr. BENN

There is a Minorities Committee in existence, but its proceedings have been suspended while the Conference has been adjourned.

Mr. FREEMAN

Will it be resumed?

Mr. BENN

That is precisely the question which the hon. Member has put and to which I am not able to give an answer at the moment.
