HC Deb 22 August 1883 vol 283 c1645
MR. E. STANHOPE

asked the Prime Minister, Whether the opinions of the Local Governments of India upon the Ilbert Bill would be laid upon the Table in dummy during the present Session, so that they might, when received, be printed and circulated during the Recess?

MR. GLADSTONE

, in reply, said, he did not like to answer the Question without consulting the Indian Department; but, so far as he could judge, the request was a reasonable one.
