§ GENERAL SIR GEORGE BALFOUR (Kincardine)asked the First Lord of the Treasury, To use influence with the India Office to issue, as early as possible, an explanatory Memorandum on the affairs of India, and thereby enable the Under Secretary to shorten his speech when opening the India Budget?
§ THE FIRST LORD (Mr. W. H. SMITH) (Strand, Westminster)said, he was glad to tell his hon. and gallant Friend that the Under Secretary had already prepared a Memorandum, and that it would be distributed some days before the Budget Statement.
