HC Deb 17 May 1888 vol 326 c532
SIR ROPER LETHBRIDGE (Kensington, N.)

asked the Under Secretary of State for India, Whether Her Majesty's Government has received any information from the Government of India relating to the import of wool into British India from Thibet, and the prospect of the profitable establishment of woollen factories within British territory in India?

THE UNDER SECRETARY OF STATE (Sir JOHN GORST) (Chatham)

No special Reports have been received; but the Trade Report shows that last year 3,464 cwt. of wool were imported into British India from Thibet. The factories established on the Baree Doab Canal and elsewhere are said to be doing fairly well.
