HC Deb 17 April 1934 vol 288 c892
66. Mr. LEWIS

asked the Secretary of State for Dominion Affairs whether the contents of the South African Status Bill were communicated to His Majesty's Government in the United Kingdom before this measure was introduced in the Union Assembly; if any amendments in the drafting of the Bill were suggested by His Majesty's Government in the United Kingdom; and if the Bill, as introduced, incorporated any or all of such amendments?

Mr. J. H. THOMAS

His Majesty's Government in the Union of South Africa consulted His Majesty's Government in the United Kingdom with regard to a special point affecting trustee stocks and arising in connection with the proposed repeal of Section 65 of the South Africa Act. Consultation was limited to this point, on which full agreement was reached between the two Governments.
