More Time For Debate On India Independence
BY FRASER WIGHTON (Reuter's Political Correspondent)
London, July 7, The British Government is now confident that Parlia ment will have passed the India Independence Bill for, the creation of the dominions of India and Pakistan into law by July 20, I was authoritatively informed tonight.
August 15 will remain the date for the transfer of
power.
Government officials' now know that the House of Lords will make the necessary arrangements to fit in with the projected time schedule. Thiles have been going on between the Government and Opposition leadors on this point, with satisfactory results.
The result of the discussions is that several stages of the bill' will be taken formally, without expenditure of time.
One effect of speeding the ar rangements is that the Government now intends to allow, the whole of Thursday for the second rending and debate on the Independence BHI. Earlier, when the second reading was not expected until the latter part of the month, it had been pro- posed to rush the second reading, the committer stage, the report singe
