HC Deb 06 July 1869 vol 197 cc1329-30
SIR STAFFORD NORTHCOTE

moved that the Home Accounts of the Government of India be referred to the Committee of Public Accounts.

MR. GRANT DUFF

said, that far from objecting to his right hon. Friend's Motion he was most happy to accede to it. It did not, under all the circumstances, seem quite proper that they should take the initiative in again this year referring these accounts to a Committee upstairs; but there was no reason in the world why they should not be so referred, if one so able to form a sound opinion as his right hon. Friend thought fit to propose that they should be.

Motion agreed to.

Home Accounts of the Government of India [presented 10th May], referred to the Committee of Public Accounts.—(Sir Stafford Northcote.)
