Two improvements in both the Central and the Provincial Legislative Councils were suggested to the following :
- Though the majority of the official members was retained, the Non – Official members were to be nominated by the Bengal Chamber of Commerce and Provincial Legislative Councils ( The Non – Official members of the Provincial Councils were to be nominated by certain local bodies such as Universities, District Boards, Municipalities]. Indian leaders like G.K.Gokhale, Ashutosh Mukherjee, Ras Bihari Ghosh and S.N.Banerjee found their way in the Legislative Council.
- The Councils were to have the powers to discuss the annual statement of revenue and expenditure ( i.e. the budget and of addressing questions to the Executive ). They could also put questions, within certain limits, to the Government on matters of public interest after giving six days’ notice.
