Deb 16 July 1936 vol 101 c984

Report from the India and Burma Orders Committee, That they have examined the Draft Order as required by the Standing Orders of the House; that in their opinion the provisions of the Order raise important questions of policy and principle which have been accepted already by the House when passing the Government of India Act, 1935, under which the Order is submitted for approval; that the Order is not founded on precedent, inasmuch as no Order has been made previously under Section 288 of the Government of India Act, 1935; that in the opinion of the Committee the Order cannot be passed without special attention, but that no further inquiry is necessary before the House proceeds to a decision on the Resolution to approve the said Order:

Read, and ordered to lie on the Table.
