§ SIR GEORGE CAMPBELL (Kirkcaldy, &c.)I had intended to ask the First Lord of the Treasury if Her Majesty's Government will lay upon the Table the Correspondence between the Authorities in this country and the Government of India on the subject of the Indian Factories Act? As the right hon. Gentleman is not in his place, perhaps the Under Secretary of State for India is in a position to answer the question.
SIR J. GORSTYes, Sir. The Correspondence has not yet been laid upon the Table, because it is not yet completed; but there has already been laid upon the Table the Report of the Factory Commission, and if the hon. Member will move for the Correspondence which took place last year that also shall be laid on the Table.
§ SIR G. CAMPBELLI think the House ought to be in possession of the documents by which certain views of Her Majesty's Government were pressed upon the Government of India.
SIR J. GORSTThose are exactly the Papers which I ask the hon. Member to move for. I have said that the hon. Member can have the Papers in which the views of Her Majesty's Government were pressed upon the Government of India.
§ SIR G. CAMPBELLWill they be laid upon the Table in the ordinary course?
