§ MR. SCHWANN (Manchester, N.)I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he can lay upon the Table of the House the replies by, and the criticisms of, the different Government Agents in Ceylon on the Report of the Select Committee which lately sat in that Island to consider the question of the Paddy Tax; and whether, in case these replies have not been brought to his notice, he will cause them to be laid before the Secretary of State for the Colonies, with the view of enabling him to come to a correct decision in the matter?
§ THE UNDER SECRETARY OF STATE FOR THE COLONIES (Baron H. de WORMS,) Liverpool, East ToxtethThe Papers in question have been received, and are being most fully considered. They will be included in any correspondence which may be laid before Parliament on the subject.
