After thanking H.E. the Viceroy and the Secretary of State the Council ask that a progressive proportion in public service appointments be definitely earmarked for Indians who are qualified for the same and express their gratitude for kind references made by the distinguished framers of the scheme and for their consideration of Anglo-Indian community as evidenced in paragraphs 155 and 346 of the report.
