HC Deb 24 March 1927 vol 204 c579W
Mr. LANSBURY

asked the Under-Secretary of State for India when the Report of the Indian delegation which proceeded to Fiji in 1922 was received by the Government of India; whether a copy of the Report has been received by the Secretary of State; and whether he will inform the House as to the cause of the delay in making known the findings of the delegation?

Earl WINTERTON

The Report was submitted to the Government of India in the latter part of 1922. The Secretary of State has received a copy. Its submission was followed by further discussions and correspondence regarding the position of Indians in Fiji, and a final decision regarding publication of the Report was deferred while these were in progress. Later papers have now been published, and it has been decided not to publish the 1922 Report.
