HC Deb 11 April 1889 vol 335 c240
MR. CAINE (Barrow-in-Furness)

I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for India if the Report of Mr. Drew on the working of the Bombay Factories has been yet received at the India Office; and, if so, will it be printed and circulated to Members of the House?

SIR J. GORST

If the hon. Member will move for the Report by Mr. Drew and the other Reports obtained by the Government of India, in reply to the inquiries of the Secretary of State, respecting the Indian Factory Act, they will be given as an unopposed Return.

MR. J. M. MACLEAN (Oldham)

Will the hon. Gentleman publish the despatch of the Governor General of India on this subject?

SIR J. GORST

I will if I can, but until the Secretary of State has determined what to do in the matter I cannot promise.
