HC Deb 19 April 1888 vol 324 c1711
MR. BRADLAUGH (Northampton)

asked the Under Secretary of State for India, Whether great difficulty has arisen in connection with carrying out the teak contracts in Burmah in consequence of the disarmament of the friendly Natives who are now unable to protect themselves against dacoits; whether the effect of this disarmament has been to already diminish the Forest Revenue of Burmah; and, whether he will lay upon the Table of the House any Correspondence which has taken place on this subject?

THE UNDER SECRETARY OF STATE (Sir JOHN GORST) (Chatham)

No such information has reached the Secretary of State as that upon which the first two Questions seemed to be founded. It follows that there is no Correspondence on the subject which could be laid upon the Table of the House.
