HC Deb 20 April 1944 vol 399 c353
18. Miss Ward

asked the Secretary of State for India what steps are being taken to plan the future developments of India in respect of health, agriculture and industry.

Mr. Amery

These matters are under continuous consideration by the Reconstruction Committee of the Government of India under the chairmanship of Sir Ramaswami Mudaliar.

Miss Ward

When will something be made public?

Mr. Amery

That must be a matter for the discretion of the Government of India.

Miss Ward

Has not the right hon. Gentleman any information on the point?

Mr. Davidson

Is it not impossible for the right hon. Gentleman to make any decision with regard to India until we have before us the full social service plans of the Government for this country?
