HC Deb 31 May 1878 vol 240 cc1036-7
MR. ARTHUR MILLS

asked the Under Secretary of State for India, Whether it will be possible to submit to the House his annual Financial Statement at an earlier period of the Session than has been usual in former years?

MR. E. STANHOPE,

in reply, said, that at the present moment it would be impossible for him to say when the state of Public Business would admit of his introducing the Indian Budget. He was sorry not to be able to give a more definite answer; but he might remind the hon. Gentleman that twice during the present Session there had been full and very interesting discussions on Indian Finance.
