NEW CONSTITUTION FOR MALTA
RESPONSIBLE GOVERNMENT NOT RESTORED
(Received July 30, 1.30 a.m.) LONDON, July 29. The Secretary of State for the Colonies (Mr Malcolm Mac Donald) announced to-day that a new constitution for Malta was being submitted to the King in the form of letters patent. There was no question of restoring responsible government for any forseeable period, but the people would have a considerable measure of participation in the conduct of their own affairs. The legislature will be known as the Council. The Government will consist of eight official, 10 elected members, and two members nominated by the Governor, who will preside over the Council, have the casting vote, and be able to restrict discussion.
