HC Deb 08 August 1884 vol 292 c279
GENERAL SIR GEORGE BALFOUR

said, he had to complain that although it had been customary for 24 years past, ever since the resumption by the Crown of the Government of India, to circulate the Finance and Revenue Accounts before the delivery of the Statement of the Minister representing the India Office, the practice had not been followed this year, and no satisfactory explanations offered to Parliament as to the change in practice. He (General Sir George Balfour) therefore gave Notice of his intention to appeal to the Prime Minister.
