HC Deb 20 July 1933 vol 280 c2001
67. Mr. E. WILLIAMS

asked the Secretary of State for India whether he is now in a position to announce the decision of His Majesty's Government with regard to the separation of Burma, or the inclusion of Burma, in the proposed new Indian Federation?

The UNDER-SECRETARY of STATE for INDIA (Mr. Butler)

His Majesty's Government do not propose to reach any final decision on this matter pending the report of the Joint Select Committee, as the Committee in the course of their consideration of the future government of India will, it is assumed, make recommendations regarding the future of Burma.
