HC Deb 15 March 1888 vol 323 c1291
MR. KING (Hull, Central)

asked the Under Secretary of State for India, Whether, before any action is taken with regard to the Report of the Indian Public Service Commission, a Parliamentary inquiry will be instituted; and, whether alterations of the extensive character proposed by the Commission will be submitted to Parliament in the form of a Bill?

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

It is impossible for the Secretary of State to say what stops will be taken with reference to the Report of the Indian Public Service Commission until he has received the views of the Government of India, by whom the Report is now being considered.

In reply to Mr. BUCHANAN (Edinburgh, W.),

SIR JOHN GORST

said, the Report had been laid on the Table of the House, and the question of when it would be printed and circulated lay with the House.

MR. BUCHANAN

Is the hon. Gentleman aware that a full abstract of the Report appeared in The Times a few weeks ago?

[No reply.]
