MR. CURZON (Lancashire, Southport)I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for India whether it has been finally decided to throw half the cost of the Opium Commission upon the Indian Exchequer; and, if so, what are the grounds of that decision?
MR. G. RUSSELLThe ground on which it has been decided that half the cost of the Opium Commission shall be borne by Indian Revenues is the great extent to which India's financial position is involved in the inquiry.
