HC Deb 26 August 1889 vol 340 cc487-8
SIR R. LETHBRIDGE

I wish to ask whether the attention of the Secretary of State for India has been drawn to the statement that the India Govern- ment propose to make Sunday a day of despatch for the mails from Bombay, and whether the Government will veto a proposal which will outrage the religious feelings of a large portion of the community?

SIR J. GORST

The question of the day of despatch of the Indian mail from Bombay is under the consideration of the Government of India in India, and no proposal from them has yet been made to the Secretary of State.
