§ SIR C. W. DILKE (Gloucester, Forest of Dean)I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for India why the Statement exhibiting the Progress of India, for 1891–2 (28th Number), has not been presented to Parliament, that for 1890–91 bearing date 24th May, 1892, and that for 1889–90 bearing date l5th May, 1891?
MR. G. RUSSELLThe forthcoming Statement exhibiting the moral and material progress of India will, according to previous custom, review the progress of the past 10 years. It therefore takes longer to prepare than the usual yearly Statements. It will be presented to Parliament soon after the end of December next.
