HC Deb 20 January 1943 vol 386 c251W
Mr. Sorensen

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether His Majesty's Government has considered the representations of the Ceylon National Congress respecting constitutional changes including Dominion status; whether he has been in communication with the Governor on the matter; and whether any declaration in regard to constitutional progress is likely to be made in the near future?

Colonel Stanley

Yes, Sir. The President of the Ceylon National Congress has been referred to the declaration by His Majesty's Government that Ceylon's constitutional reform will receive earnest and early attention once the victory has been won. I have nothing to add to that declaration.
