MR. GREGORYsaid, he wished to ask the Under Secretary of State for India, Whether he will lay before the House Copy of all Reports connected with the expenditure on the Persian Gulf Submarine Line of Telegraph, and the land line connecting it with Bombay; also of any Reports referring to expenditure, whether by way of advance or subsidy, in connection with the land line from the Persian Gulf through Persia and Turkey?
MR. GRANT DUFFSir, In reply to my hon. Friend, I have to say that I cannot give him precisely what he asks for, as there is only one formal Report on the subject referred to in existence. That, however, I shall be happy to lay on the table, together with other Papers containing ample information.
