§ SIR CHARLES WINGFIELDasked the Under Secretary of State for India, Whether the question of gauge for the Punjaub Lines of Railway has been decided by the Secretary of State or referred for the consideration of the Viceroy of India?
MR. GRANT DUFFThe question, Sir, of the gauge for the Punjaub lines of Railway is still under consideration, the Secretary of State in Council having, since the discussion of the 7th March in this House, addressed the Viceroy in Council with reference both to that discussion and to a Despatch from the Viceroy which reached the India Office three days after it. The question remains and must remain an open one, till the reply of the Viceroy to the Secretary of State's last Despatch has been received and considered by him.
