§ MR. ALEXANDER M'ARTHURasked the Under Secretary of State for India, If he is now in a position to inform the House whether the Secretary of State has sent instructions to Calcutta that the legal advisers of the Guikwar should be allowed access to him; and, if so, whether he will explain the nature of the regulations to be observed at such interviews?
§ LORD GEORGE HAMILTONSir, political circumstances render it necessary to keep a certain restraint over Mulhar Rao, but the Secretary of State, after consultation with the Government of India, has decided to allow the legal advisers of Mulhar Rao access to him under certain conditions. They must state to the Government of India the business upon which they wish to see Mulhar Rao. Dr. Seward, who is in attendance upon Mulhar Rao, will then inform him that his legal advisers wish to see him, and if he expresses a wish for an interview, it will be allowed in the presence of a Government officer.
