HC Deb 14 February 1940 vol 357 cc779-80W
Mr. Woods

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether any modification of the Donoughmore Constitution, which would adversely affect Indian interests in Ceylon, is contemplated in the revised constitution for that Colony?

Mr. M. MacDonald

I am not yet in a position to contemplate any particular modification of the present constitution. The interests of all communities in Ceylon which are affected by constitutional reforms will be fully considered before any conclusions are reached.
