§ MR. J. G. TALBOT (Oxford University)I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for India whether he can now state to the House what steps have been taken by Her Majesty's Government to redeem the pledges made by him on behalf of the Government, in the Debate on the 31st May last, to inquire into, and, if possible, redress the grievances of the civil engineers of the Public Works Department?
§ THE UNDER SECRETARY OF STATE FOR INDIA (Sir J. GORST, Chatham)The recommendations of the Public Works Commission are still the subject of consideration by the Secretary of State and the Government of India. Until the changes consequent on these recommendations are decided upon no separate action in the direction suggested by the hon. Member can be taken.
