HC Deb 07 March 1932 vol 262 c1456
6. Mr. D. GRENFELL

asked the Secretary of State for India whether he will make an early announcement on the question of the distribution of seats in the proposed Provincial and Federal Legislatures between different communities as recommended by the Consultative Committee of the India Round Table Conference?

Sir S. HOARE

I must refer the hon. Member to the answer I gave on 15th February to a similar question by the hon. Member for Westhoughton (Mr. Rhys Davies), to which at present I can add nothing.

Mr. MARJORIBANKS

Has not the situation altered in regard to the decision of the Princes?

Sir S. HOARE

I do not know to what my hon. Friend refers. It does not alter the position as I have stated it.

Mr. MARJORIBANKS

May I enlighten the right hon. Gentleman? I refer to the Princes' decision with regard to the declaration of rights in the proposed Constitution.
