[1] The Commission consisted of Walter Thalgodapitiya, District Judge as chairmen; Thomas Webb Roberts, retired officer of the Ceylon Civil Service and Samuel John Charles Schokman, Advocate and former Crown Counsel.
The report found evidence of bribery against two former ministers C. A. S. Marikkar and M. P. de Zoysa, as well as parliamentarians D. B. Monnekulame, H. Abeywickrema, M. S. Kariapper and R. E. Jayatillake.
In 1965, the UNP-led new national government revisited the report and enacted the Imposition of Civic Disabilities (Special Provisions) Act (No.
14 of 1965) which stripped Marikkar, de Zoysa, Abeywickrema, Kariapper, Jayatilleke, and Monnekulame of their civic rights for a period of seven years.
Kariapper, who was a member of parliament at the time, lost his seat as a consequence of the enactment.
