HC Deb 30 July 1935 vol 304 c2549

"If and in so far as His Majesty's Representative for the exercise of the functions of the Crown in its relations with Indian States may entrust to the Authority the performance of any functions in relation to railways in an Indian State which is not a Federated State, the Authority shall undertake the performance of those functions."

The ATTORNEY-GENERAL

I beg to move, "That this House doth agree with the Lords in the said Amendment."

The purpose of the new Clause is very simple, namely, to make it plain that in the case of railways in non-federated States the Crown's representative can utilise the agency of the Railway Authority, just in the same way as the Railway Board are now used as agents for the Government of India.

Subsequent Lords Amendments to page 131, line 16, agreed to.
