§ MR. BAXTERasked the Secretary of State for India, If he will suspend the appointment of Chaplains in that country, and direct that no grants not already promised be given out of public revenues for the building or repair of churches until the Government of India has had an opportunity of reporting on the complaints which have been made on this subject and the changes which may be desirable in the present system?
THE MARQUESS OF HARTINGTON,in reply, said, that this subject had been engaging the attention of the Government of India, but they had not yet been able to come to any definite conclusion upon it. Under these circumstances, he did not think it would be a convenient course that he should give an undertaking to the effect asked for by his right hon. Friend.
