HC Deb 24 January 1918 vol 101 c1186W
Sir J. D. REES

asked the Secretary of State for India whether the Government of India contemplates the early establishment, of a council of ruling chiefs with specified functions and clearly-defined powers?

Mr. HERBERT FISHER

As the hon. Member is aware, the whole question of Indian constitutional evolution is now under the consideration of the Secretary of State and the Government of India. It would be premature to make any statement regarding particular measures which may or may not be in contemplation.
