The British Colonial Office sends to Ceylon…

1828 CE to 1839 CE

The British Colonial Office sends to Ceylon a Royal Commission of Eastern Inquiry—the Colebrooke-Cameron Commission—to assess the administration of the island in 1829.

The legal and economic proposals made by the commission in 1833 are innovative and radical.

The proposed reforms oppose mercantilism, state monopolies, discriminatory administrative regulations, and, in general, any interference in the economy.

Many of the proposals are adopted and help set a pattern of administrative, economic, judicial, and educational development that will continue into the next century.
