(for Mr. FREEMAN) asked the Secretary of State for India whether, in view of the fact that women have always taken no active part in public life in Burma and no woman has so far been appointed, he will take steps to secure that representative women be appointed forthwith to the Round Table Conference on Burma?

Viscountess ASTOR:

asked the Secretary of State for India whether it is intended to add any women to the list of delegates to the Burma Round Table Conference?

This matter is at present under consideration.
