Dr. MORGANasked the Under-Secretary of State for the Colonies whether, as the result of the local publication in Ceylon of the official correspondence regarding the constitution of Ceylon in Cmd. 3419, the local Legislative Council have yet signified their acceptance of the constitution and the proposals embodied in the correspondence; and whether he has any information as to how his despatch was received in the Colony?
§ Mr. LUNNI understand that the proposals will be discussed in the Legislative Council at an early date, but I cannot, at present anticipate how they are likely to be received.
