§ MR. A.C. MORTON (Peterborough)I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for India whether he can furnish the House with a statement setting forth the number, with dates and other particulars, of riots between Mahomedans and Hindoos in British India arising out of or connected with cow killing, festival processions, or other matters of religious difference, during the period commencing with the 1st January, 1880, to 1st June of the present year?
§ THE UNDER SECRETARY OF STATE FOR INDIA (Mr. G. RUSSELL,) North Beds.I stated last Thursday, in reply to a similar question by my hon. Friend the Member for North Ayrshire, 93 that the Secretary of State was not in possession of the full information which would enable a Report for five years to be prepared; but that the Government of India would be asked to submit, with Reports on the recent riots, a general Report on the questions of administration involved.
