HC Deb 06 February 1880 vol 250 cc147-8
SIR ALEXANDER GORDON

asked the Under Secretary of State for India, Whether he will now lay upon the Table of the House a Copy of the Schedule annexed to the Treaty of Peace concluded at Gandamak on the 26th May 1879, omitted from the Paper laid before Parliament on the 1st July 1879; and, whether he will lay upon the Table of the House a sketch map showing the limits of the districts assigned to the British Government for protection and administrative control, as defined in the schedule above mentioned?

MR. E. STANHOPE

Sir, we have not received the Schedule in question from India. The House will probably recollect that the precise limits of the districts assigned to the British Govorn- ment for protection and administrative control were to be defined by a Commission; but from the unfortunate events of September last it is very probable that the work has not been completed; but as soon as a sketch map showing the limits can be laid upon the Table I shall be happy to do it. As to the Schedule, I am not quite sure whether it has been actually prepared, because it depended upon the limits fixed by the Boundary Commission.
