DR. CAMERON (Glasgow, College)

asked the Under Secretary of State for India, Whether it is proposed by Her Majesty's Indian Government to continue the system of leasing monopolies in timber and other productions of Upper Burmah which existed under the late rule?

THE UNDER SECRETARY OF STATE (Sir UGHTRED KAY-SHUTTLE-WORTH) (Lancashire, Clitheroe)

No information has been received from India on this subject; but in ordinary circumstances the fiscal policy of the Government of India is opposed to monopolies.
