HC Deb 29 May 1863 vol 171 cc4-5
MR. ADAM

said, he would beg to ask the Secretary of State for India, When the Return, which was moved for in May 1861, relative to Stipendiary Native Princes in India, will be laid upon the table; and what are the reasons which have caused delay in preparing a Return the importance of which is acknowledged by the India Office?

SIR CHARLES WOOD

replied that the reason for not laying the Papers on the table of the House was that he had not received them. Why they had not come he could not say.

MR. ADAM

They were moved for two years ago.

SIR CHARLES WOOD

I have sent for them, but I have not received them from India.
