59. Duchess of ATHOLLasked the Secretary of State for India how many States are included in list 10, on page 139 of the Report of the Joint Committee on. Indian Constitutional Reform?
§ Sir S. HOAREThe list referred to by the Noble Lady included 236 States and Estates and in addition 21 groups situated in Western India of numerous smaller State units of which I am not in possession of the exact number.
Duchess of ATHOLLMay I ask whether the list referred to includes the same States as those referred to in paragraph 12 of the Schedule of the Bill which deals with the States and their representation?
§ Sir S. HOAREThere is a slight difference between the two lists owing to an Amendment including certain other States which was carried in Committee.
§ Sir S. HOAREYes.
