HC Deb 31 October 1932 vol 269 c1411
6. Brigadier-General CLIFTON BROWN

asked the Secretary of State for India whether the calling of another Round Table Conference modifies in any respect the proposed machinery of a Select Committee of both Houses to report on the proposals for a new constitution for India; and whether that committee will still have free and unfettered powers to record its opinions on all proposals accepted by the Government at the Round Table Conferences?

Sir S. HOARE

The intentions of the Government as to the machinery of a Joint Select Committee to report upon their proposals for the revision of the Indian Constitution, and as to its powers, have been in no way modified since I first made a statement on the subject on the 27th June last.

Brigadier-General BROWN

Is there no change whatever in the policy of the Government owing to the forming of the Round Table Conference?

Sir S. HOARE

No, Sir, none whatever.
