MR. NAOROJII beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for India whether the Secretary of State for India will make a Return of a Note by Lord Lytton as Viceroy, referred to in paragraph 14 of the Letter dated 2nd May, 1878, of the Government of India to the Secretary of State for India?
MR. G. RUSSELLThe Note referred to was not sent with the Despatch in which it was mentioned; it has never reached the India Office, and cannot be given. It was, doubtless, a confidential Paper written by the Viceroy for the benefit of the Members of his Council.
