MR. JUSTIN HUNTLY M'CARTHY

asked the Under Secretary of State for India, Whether it is true, as stated in The Whitehall Review of yesterday, that Earl Dufferin, as Viceroy of India, has sent a demand to the Home Government for the despatch of 20,000 British Troops to India without delay; and, if so, if he will state to the House why the demand has been made?

MR. J. K. CROSS

No, Sir; the statement in The Whitehall Review is not true.
