at an English University.
Lee Commission was formed in 1923 under the chairmanship of Lord Lee taking equal number
of Indian and British members with the purpose of studying the racial composition of the
superior public service of the government of India. The commission examined the
recommendations of the Islington commission report (1912) and reviewed the existing position
of two groups of services the All-India Services and the Central Services. The Provincial Services
were not considered as they had already come under the control of the provincial
governments.
Lee Commission's main recommendation was that 20 percent of the superior posts should be
filled by promotions from provincial civil services and of the remaining 80 percent future
entrants, 40 percent should be British and 40 percent Indians directly recruited.
