asked the Under Secretary of State for India, How soon after the Easter recess it is likely that he will make his financial statement with reference to the revenues of India?

LORD GEORGE HAMILTON

, in reply, said, that so long as the Indian financial year ended on the 31st of March, as the whole details of the accounts had to be considered by the Secretary of State in Council, it would not be possible under the present system to introduce the Indian Budget before the first week in June,
