§ SIR PATRICK O'BRIENasked the Under Secretary of State for India, Whether it is the intention of the Government to give effect to the suggestions of Dr. Henry Vandyke Carter, embodied in his Report "relative to Leprosy and Leper Asylums in Norway, with reference to India," presented to the Secretary of State for India in Council in 1873; or, if not, will the Indian Government take any and what action in the matter?
§ LORD GEORGE HAMILTON,in reply, said, it was not the intention of the Government to give effect to the suggestions referred to in the Question of the hon. Baronet. They had directed further inquiry to be made in India with a view to ascertain the correctness of the conclusions at which Dr. Carter had arrived as to the propagation of leprosy.
