§ MR. SUMMERS (Huddersfield)I had intended to ask the Under Secretary of State for India what is the amount of Council Bills sold since the commencement of the present financial year; what proportion is this amount of the whole of the current, year's estimate; under whose advice has Her Majesty's Secretary of State forced on the market so much larger a proportion of the year's drawings than is needed for the current requirements of the India Office, and what is the present amount of the cash balances in the Home Treasury of the India Office? but, in the absence of the right hon. Gentleman, I will postpone the question.
