§ MR. ALDERMAN W. M'ARTHURasked the Under Secretary of State for India, Whether the Indian Budget will be brought forward this Session at an earlier period than usual?
§ LORD GEORGE HAMILTONYes, Sir, it is the intention of Her Majesty's Government to bring on the Indian Budget at an earlier period than has been the custom in late years. I must add that previous Governments have shared this intention, and therefore I sincerely hope that circumstances will this year enable us to realize our intentions.
