HC Deb 31 October 1932 vol 269 c1410
3. Mr. DAVID GRENFELL

asked the Secretary of State for India whether it is the intention of the Government of India, on the retirement of the present President at the end of the Session, to throw open the post of the President of the Council of State to election on the same lines as in the Legislative Assembly?

Sir S. HOARE

The hon. Member's suggestion would require amendment of the Government of India Act. I do not contemplate any revision of the existing arrangements in advance of the revision of the Constitution as a whole.
