§ SIR DAVID WEDDERBURNasked the Under Secretary of State for India, Whether the Report of the Indian Famine Commission is now in course of preparation in England or in India; 150 and, if in England, how many of the Commissioners are now in this Country, particularly how many Native Members of the Commission; and, when it is probable that the Report will be presented?
§ MR. E. STANHOPE,in reply, said, the Report was in course of preparation in England. Five of the Commissioners were in England. No Native Members were here, as they excused themselves on account of the climate; but before any of the Members left India the Commission discussed and agreed upon the principal points to be reported on. The first part of the Report, dealing with measures for famine relief, will probably be presented this month, and the second and last part before Midsummer.
