HC Deb 06 November 1893 vol 18 c215
MR. SEYMOUR KEAY (Elgin and Nairn)

I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for India whether Her Majesty's Government have any intention of allowing the Government of India to commit themselves or this country to increased obligations for the military defence of the Afghan frontier without first communicating such intention to Parliament?

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

No such question is under discussion at the present time, and Her Majesty's Government cannot give an answer as to a case which has not arisen.
