HC Deb 28 February 1934 vol 286 cc1091-2
9. Major-General Sir ALFRED KNOX

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies if he will call for a report from the Governor of Ceylon on the working of the new constitution in that island, giving his opinion regarding the increased benefits to the workers which have accrued or are likely to accrue under the new constitution?

Mr. M. MacDONALD

I anticipate that the Governor will in due course furnish a report on all matters relevant to the working of the Constitution.

Sir A. KNOX

Will it be possible for this report to be made public, in order to correct some of the contradictory statements made in the Debate last Wednesday?

Mr. MacDONALD

I could not make any promise with regard to that.
