§ SIR HARRY VERNEYasked the Under Secretary of State for India, Whether the Government is in possession of Despatches or Documents showing the policy intended by Lord Mayo to be pursued towards Afghanistan?
MR. GRANT DUFF:If my hon. Friend, Sir, means to ask whether there are any Despatches in the India Office signed by Lord Mayo, and referring to the affairs of Afghanistan, my answer must be in the affirmative; but I should be much surprised to learn that Lord Mayo had any policy with regard to Afghanistan different from that of the Government under which he acted.
