§ Mr. A. T. DAVIESasked the Under-Secretary of State for India whether His Majesty's Government has adopted, or intends to adopt, the recommendations contained in the recent Report of the Royal Commission on the Indian Civil Service?
§ Mr. RICHARDSThe recommendations of the Royal Commission on the Superior Civil Services are being considered by the Government of India in consultation with Local Governments. The Government of India, with the approval of my Noble Friend, have announced in the Indian Legislature their opinion that whatever measures of relief recommended by the Commission may be finally sanctioned, should have effect, as recommended by the Commission, from 1st April, 1924. For the rest, 1483W I am unable to say what action will be taken by His Majesty's Government on the recommendations, as they are not yet in possession of the views of the Government of India upon them.
