Report of the Committee Appointed by the United Provinces Legislative Council to Co-Operate with the Indian Statutory Commission

1929

It is a matter for some regret that as a result of the unfortunate decsion of the Nationalist and Swaraj Parties to have noting to do with the Statutory Commission a section of the Council was unrepresented on the Committee but as will appear from the description of the personnel just given the Committee was as representative as was posible in the circumstances of the case. [...] In enumerating the material that we have considered we should also metion the report of the All-Parties Committee commonly called the Nehru Report" the Report of the Donough more Commission on the Ceylon Constitution and the various reports connected with the 1919 and the 1924 Reforms Inquiries. [...] As the United Provinces Government has stated the larger the amount of the support on which the Ministers can rely in the Legislature the weaker may be the position of the Governor in Council in relation to the Legislature" and "the solidarity of the Government is threatened by any measure on the Reserved side which is likely to raise determined opposition in the Legislature and to preserve the [...] weakening of the Governor in Council by the pressure of the Legislature on the Ministers and the weakening of the Ministers vis-à-vis the Legislature by reason of their connection with the Governor in Council." Another weakness of the Governor in Council results from the fact that subjects have to be classified into Transferred and Reserved. [...] The extension of the franchise to women and the increasing care with which the rolls have been prepared account for a certain proportion of the increase but the proportionately higheincrease in the urban constituencies coupled with the fact that there have been a larger number of claims for registration in urban constituencies than in the rural ones shows in the words of the United Provinces
