MR. WHITLEY

asked the Under Secretary of State for India, What is the amount paid by Lord Ripon out of the Revenues of India for the Reuter Telegram purporting to give an account of the Debate upon the Ilbert Bill; and, whether he will also state the amount expended by Lord Ripon in telegraphing home for the past twelve months?

MR. J. K. CROSS

Detailed accounts of the cost of telegrams to England are not furnished to the India Office; but if the hon. Member wishes it, a reference on the subject shall be made to the Government of India.
