Detailed Solution

The above statement is false.
Sir John Simon was the chairman of the Simon Commission, established by the British government with seven members on the committee. Their duty was to check the Indian constitutional system and suggest reforms. The British government appointed the Simon Commission in November 1927. All the members of the Simon Commission were Europeans, so Indians were against it. However, Simon's commission arrived in India in 1928 and was boycotted by all Indians, with the slogans "Simon, go back". Hence, Sir John Simon was not the chairman of the British Council but the chairman of the Simon commission.
