§ SIR G. BADEN-POWELL (Liverpool, Kirkdale)I beg to ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether, as the Report of the Indian Currency Committee has already been communicated to the Government of India, that Report can be presented to the House in anticipation of any statement which the Government may eventually make on the subject; and whether the Government have decided to take any action they may deem to be advisable without the previous concurrence of Parliament?
§ SIR W. HARCOURTI answered this question yesterday. The Government are unable to come to any decision until they have ascertained the views of the Government of India upon the question.
§ SIR G. BADEN-POWELLWill the Government in the meantime present the Report to the House.
§ SIR W. HARCOURTNo; I think it would be most unfair to the Government of India that the Report should be made public before they had an opportunity of considering it.
