HC Deb 16 February 1938 vol 331 c1872
39. Mr. Sorensen

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he is aware of the dispute between the Governor of Ceylon and the State Council concerning an Order-in-Council; and whether he proposes to take any action in the matter?

Mr. Ormsby-Gore

I am not aware of any dispute between the Governor and the State Council, but I am aware that there has been criticism in the State Council of the terms of an Order-in-Council recently issued. I have received certain representations from the Board of Ministers, to which I am about to reply.

Mr. Sorensen

Do I take it that the right hon. Gentleman will give further information to the House in due course?

Mr. Ormsby-Gore

Certainly.
