HC Deb 17 January 1967 vol 739 c14W
Mr. Driberg

asked the Secretary of State for Commonwealth Affairs what progress is being made towards determining the future of the India Office library.

Mr. George Thomas

Correspondence continues with India and Pakistan on the proposed tribunal to determine the legal ownership of the India Office building and its contents (including the Library) as at August 1947. Some progress has been made since the Commonwealth Secretary's reply to the Question of my hon. Friend the Member for Yarmouth on 14th June, 1966, but final agreement has not yet been reached on the terms of reference and other matters connected with the setting up of the tribunal.—[Vol. 729, c. 1217–8.]
