§ SIR ALEXANDER GORDONasked the Under Secretary of State for India, 1408 Whether the Government of India has explained to Her Majesty's Government the reason why they omitted to send home, with their despatch of the 2nd June last, a copy of the Schedule annexed to the Treaty of Peace concluded between the British Government and the Ameer of Affghanistan, which defines the limits of the districts assigned to the British Government; and if he will communicate such reason to the House; and, if he can state whether the omission will be rectified, so that the document in question may be laid upon the Table of House before Parliament rises for the vacation?
§ MR. E. STANHOPEI believe the reason why the Schedule has not been sent home is because the limits of those assigned districts had to be demarcated by a mixed Commission; but as soon as we receive it we will lay it on the Table of the House.
§ SIR ALEXANDER GORDONThe Under Secretary of State has not answered the Question, whether the Indian Government had stated the reason they gave for not sending the Schedule when they sent the Despatch?
§ MR. E. STANHOPEI have already stated the reason. I know of no other.
