33. Mr. Creech Jonesasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he has recently been in consultation with the Indian Government on the question of the franchise of Indian workers in Ceylon; and what representations from the Indian Government have been made to him on the constitution of Ceylon?
§ Mr. Ormsby-GoreI am not aware that any representations have recently been made by the Government of India on the subject of either the general franchise or the constitution of Ceylon. The hon. Member may have in mind proposals recently before the State Council in regard to the election of village committees, about which the Government of India have, I understand, been in correspondence with Ministers in Ceylon.
