The legislative councils at the Centre and the provinces increased in size (centre 16 to 60)
The elected members were elected indirectly. The local bodies elected an electoral college who would elect members of the provincial legislative councils. These members would, in turn, elect the members of the Central legislative council.
Communal electorate introduced - separate election for several communities , the so called Divide and Rule
Indians were given membership to the Imperial Legislative Council for the first time
Lord Minto appointed (on much persuasion by Morley) Satyendra P Sinha as the first Indian member of the Viceroy’s Executive Council.
The members could discuss the budget and move resolutions. They could also discuss matters of public interest.
They could also ask supplementary questions.
No discussions on foreign policy or on relations with the princely states were permitted.
