HC Deb 05 March 1883 vol 276 c1430
MR. O'DONNELL

asked the Under Secretary of State for India, If he will inquire whether, during the acting Governorship of Mr. W. Hudleston, in 1881, the Government of Madras passed a Resolution that relations of "Members of Council" should not hold land; whether this prohibition applied to land within the Madras Presidency only; whether this order received the sanction of the Viceroy and also of the Secretary of State; and, what was the date of the Resolution?

MR. J. K. CROSS

Sir, I have replied to this Question before, stating that there was no knowledge at the India Office of the matter in question. Mr. Hudleston, who is, I understand, at present in England, will be asked whether he can in any way explain what the hon. Member refers to.
