Legislative Assembly Debates. Thursday 10th November 1932. Official Report

1932

Now it is a well known fact and my Honourable friends the occupants of the Treasury Benches will not challenge it that the Government of India as at present constituted are not responsible to this House and through this House to the people of India and therefore they are not the agents of the people of India. [...] Then he further asked that if the Government of India have taken the sense of the Legislature and the Legislature overules the Government of India what is the position? [...] The result is that if the Government of India and the Legislature are not in agreement the power of supervision direction and control of the Secretary of State would then be restored. [...] Sir I ask the Honourable the Commerce Member and the Leader of the House and his colleagues on the Treasury Benches are they prepared really to give effect to the spirit of the convention by withdrawing from the vote the official block? [...] My Honourable friend would have found the answer in the body of the report itself ; and may I say in passing that the answer to practically every criticism levelled on the floor of the House against the Ottawa Agreement is found in the body of the Report itself.
