HC Deb 23 August 1894 vol 29 cc349-50
MR. NAOROJI (Finsbury, Central)

I beg to ask the Secretary to the Treasury whether he would give a Return of the costs of Commissions, Committees, and Parliamentary Returns which have been paid from sources other than the British Exchequer?

THE SECRETARY TO THE TREASURY (Sir J. T. HIBBERT, Oldham)

I am afraid that the Treasury has no means of preparing such a Return. If, as is possible, my hon. Friend refers to expenditure upon Commissions, &c., defrayed by the Government of India, I can only suggest that perhaps the Secretary of State for India could give him the information required.
