§ MR. BIGGARasked the Under Secretary of State for India, Whether it is true that the Governor of Madras declines to pay Professional Tax in Madras, on the grounds that he never resides there, but that he spends five months of the year at his country seat of Guindy, and the other seven months at Ootacamund, on the Nilgiri Hills; and, whether Her Majesty's Government sanctions this arrangement on the part of a Governor of Madras?
§ MR. J. K. CROSSWe have no information on this subject; but I may inform the hon. Member for Cavan that the Governor of Madras does not appear to be liable to pay Professional Tax under the City of Madras Municipal Act 5 of 1878.
