HC Deb 14 July 1893 vol 14 cc1565-6
MR. HANBURY

I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for India when he proposes to bring forward the Indian Budget?

THE UNDER SECRETARY OF STATE FOR INDIA (Mr. G. RUSSELL, North Beds.)

This is a question which would be more suitably addressed to the Leader of the House. The answer must depend on the course of Public Business.

MR. HANBURY

Then may I put the question to the Prime Minister?

THE FIRST LORD OF THE TREASURY (Mr. W. E. GLADSTONE, Edinburgh, Midlothian)

I cannot state when the Indian Budget will be taken; but from what I have heard there will be some convenience, in consequence of the remarkable circumstances in connection with the financial and monetary history of India this year, in not having the Indian Budget earlier than usual.
