D. Patel, Sidiq Koya, James Madhavan, C. A. Shah, Andrew Deoki, and C. P. Singh), and six Europeans (John Falvey, Ronald Kermode, John Moore, John Kearsley, Fred Archibald, and Cyril Aidney)[5] The Governor, Sir Derek Jakeway, and Lewis himself, as Attorney General, were designated separately. They were joined by a nine-member British delegation.[6]
