the possibilities of serious conflict. I therefore recommend that section ( 2 ) of the Government of India Act should be deleted and two new sections of the following tenor should be added :—
(1) The Legislative power of the Province shall be vested in a Provincial Parliament which will consist of the King and a Council of the King and a Council of Representatives and which is hereinafter called “The Provincial Legislature”.
(2) The Executive power of the Province is vested in the King and is exercisable by the Governor as the King’s representative and extends to the execution and maintenance of the constitution and of the laws of the Province.
Sections of similar import regarding the position of the Crown in the Government of India should be added to Act of 1919. Such a change will not only help to place the Crown and the Secretary of State in their true position, but they will also help to bring the constitutional law of India in line with the constitutional law of the Dominions.
