MR. BUCHANAN (Edinburgh, W.)

asked the Under Secretary of State for India, What has been the expenditure from the Indian Exchequer during the last three years on frontier railways and military works on the North-Western Frontier?

THE UNDER SECRETARY OF STATE FOR FOREIGN AFFAIRS (Sir JAMES FERGUSSON) (Manchester, N.E.)

(who replied) said: From the information now in the India Office, R.x.8,500,000 is the best estimate that can at present be made. This must not, however, be relied on as absolutely accurate.
