§ THE FIRST LORD OF THE TREASURY (Mr. W. E. GLADSTONE,) Edinburgh, MidlothianI cannot consent to the appointment of the suggested Committee. We are awaiting the opinion of the Government of India on the Currency Report, and can do nothing until we receive that.
§ MR. MACFARLANEThis has nothing to do with the currency question. I simply ask for an inquiry into the Home Charges paid by India.
§ MR. W. E. GLADSTONEwas understood to say that nothing could be done in the matter at present.
