HC Deb 18 July 1938 vol 338 cc1775-93
1. Mr. Day

asked the Under-Secretary of State for India on how many occasions during the previous five years the Chamber of Princes has been summoned?

The Under-Secretary of State for India (Lieut.-Colonel Muirhead)

The Chamber met in the years 1933, 1935, and 1937.

Mr. Day

Was the Chamber called on those occasions by the Viceroy or at the request of the Princes themselves?

Lieut.-Colonel Muirhead

The business is arranged by the Standing Committee of the Chamber, and the question of holding a meeting is then put to the Viceroy for his concurrence.

Mr. Day

Do we understand that there is no regular time for the meetings of the Chamber?

Lieut.-Colonel Muirhead

The rules provide that there shall be a meeting once a year, unless it is decided to the contrary.
