HC Deb 11 May 1931 vol 252 c791
5. Mr. FREEMAN

asked the Secretary of State for India whether he can now-state the names of the proposed Federal Structure Committee; the terms of reference, if any, and when it will be meeting?

Mr. BENN

Not yet, Sir.

Mr. FREEMAN

Can my right hon. Friend give any indication when he will be in a position to make a statement on this point?

Mr. BENN

Naturally, the moment that our plans are more mature and ready for publication, the House will be informed.

Miss RATHBONE

Is the right hon. Gentleman bearing in mind the very special reasons for including women in the Federal Structure Committee?

Mr. BENN

The question of the personnel is being considered.
