The members of the 28th General Assembly of Newfoundland were elected in the Newfoundland general election held in June 1932. The general assembly sat from 1932 to 1934.[1]
The United Newfoundland Party led by Frederick C. Alderdice formed the government.[2]
James A. Winter served as speaker.[3]
Sir David Murray Anderson served as governor of Newfoundland.[4]
Overwhelmed by debt, the government proposed that it would temporarily reduce its debt payments. Instead, Canada and Britain helped make payments on its debt while a royal commission of enquiry considered Newfoundland's political future. The report, delivered in November 1933, recommended the suspension of responsible government. A Commission of Government would administer Newfoundland until its finances improved and its people wanted a return to responsible government.[2]
