HC Deb 18 March 1878 vol 238 c1484
MR. POTTER

asked the Under Secretary of State for India, When the complete Returns promised last Session, in reference to Salt Smuggling in India, will be laid upon the Table of the House?

LORD GEORGE HAMILTON

Sir, I am afraid it is not in my power to name any particular date on which this Return, which is very voluminous and has to be compiled in India, will reach us. A despatch will be sent out to India by this mail calling attention to the delay in completing this Return, and requesting that its preparation should be expedited.
