HC Deb 14 April 1885 vol 296 c1630
MR. SLAGG

asked the Under Secretary of State for India, Whether he can give any information as to the reasons which have led to the supersession of Professor Wordsworth in the Directorship of Public Instruction in India?

MR. J. K. CROSS

The India Office has no direct information on this subject, the appointment being one which rests with the Government of Bombay. It is notified in The Bombay Government Gazette of March 19 that Mr. Lee Warren, M.A., C.S., is to act as Director of Public Instruction during the absence of Mr. Chatfield, or till further orders.
