HC Deb 12 April 1875 vol 223 cc717-8
MR. SULLIVAN

asked the Under Secretary of State for India, When it is his intention to lay upon the Table of the House Copy of the official reporter's notes of the Evidence lately given before the investigation or trial of certain charges against his Highness the Guikwar of Baroda; and, whether it is his intention further to lay before this House a Copy of the Proclamation or Order of the Governor General of India suspending the Guikwar from the exercise of authority in his own territory?

LORD GEORGE HAMILTON

Sir, the Secretary of State for India will, as soon as possible, lay before Parliament the Papers relating to the appointment and proceedings of the Commission referred to in the Question. Those Papers will give the hon. Member the information which he seeks. I take this opportunity of stating that a large mass of Papers relating to the proceedings of the first Commission appointed to inquire into the administration of the Baroda State have for some time past been in the hands of the printers, and will shortly be distributed to hon. Members.
