Mr. SORENSEN

asked the Under-Secretary of State for India on how many occasions the Government of India has been defeated in the Indian Legislative Assembly in the year 1936; and whether these defeats were on major issues of policy?

Mr. BUTLER

During the present year the Government has been defeated on 14 occasions in the Legislative Assembly. How far these occasions are to be regarded as affecting major issues of policy is a matter of opinion.
