INDIA AND BURMA
POSTPONEMENT OF ELECTIONS.
(British Official Wireless.)
RUGBY, July 31
The India and Burma Postponement of Elections Bill was introduced in the House of Lords today and it is understood that the second reading will be taken shortly. The intention of the Bill is to give power to the Government to extend beyond the normal period of five years the life of provincial Legislative Assemblies in India and the House of Representatives in Burma for such a period as may be considered necessary up to 12 months after the end of the war.
The discretionary powers of the governors to dissolve the legislatures at any time will remain intact.
