HC Deb 19 August 1889 vol 339 c1663
MR. JAMES MACLEAN (Oldham)

I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for India when the Government of India intends to propose legislation in order to give effect to the Secretary of State's instructions for the amendment of the law regulating factory labour in India?

THE UNDER SECRETARY OF STATE FOR INDIA (Sir J. GORST, Chatham)

No, Sir; I am afraid I can give no information upon this subject, because no communications have been received by the Government of India since the Secretary of States' instructions were forwarded.
