THE SECRETARY OF STATE to THE GOVERNOR,
Downing Street, 12th September, 1922.
I HAVE the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your cypher telegram of the 26th August, suggesting that the scheme for the establishment of an Advisory Committee of the Legislative Council in Jamaica, outlined in the Reportt of the Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State on his recent visit to the West Indies, might be suitable for adoption in Ceylon.
2. I understand that a copy of Mr. Wood's report was sent to you in a Library despatch of the 23rd June, but a further copy is enclosed for facility of reference. With regard to the recommendations made in the case of Jamaica (pages 11 to 18 of the report), I have to inform you that no decision has been taken pending an expres- sion of opinion from the Colony on the scheme in general, and that it is understood that the question will be discussed in the Legislative Council of Jamaica at the autumn session.
