Letter from Clement Attlee, Prime Minister, to WSC, 4 Jul 1947
Scope and Contents
Letter from Attlee on Conservative objections to the title of the new India Bill [see CHUR 2/43/168-169]. Attlee states that it was too late to change it even if he had wanted to, and disagrees with WSC's view that Dominion Status was separate from independence. He writes that Dominion Prime Ministers considered their countries to be independent within the Commonwealth, while still giving allegiance to the King and adds that this was a most valuable counter-argument to demands for independence outside the Commonwealth.
