The Reports[edit]
The reports created by the committee was divided into two parts due to disagreements, the majority report and minority report. [1][2][3]
The Majority Report declared by officials that a diarchy had not been established, has not been given a fair trial run, and so only minor changes in non-official Indians were recommended
The Minority Report declared by nonofficials that the Act of 1919 had failed, and that they need a Constitution that has a permanent basis with a provision for automatic progress in the future.
Submitted in September 1925, the combination of these reports recommended the appointment of a Royal Commission.[1][2]
Lord Birkenhead, the Secretary of State for India, stated that actions would be taken on the basis of the majority report.[4][5]
