MR. CURZON (Lancashire, Southport)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for India whether he is now able to state the decision of the Government and to present the promised Correspondence about the question of simultaneous examinations for the Civil Service in India?
§ * MR. H. H. FOWLERThe question is under the consideration of Her Majesty's Government, but I am not yet in a position to announce their decision, or to present the Correspondence on the subject.
MR. CURZONI do not wish to press the right hon. Gentleman unfairly, but is he aware that a month ago the late Under Secretary told us the Papers would be presented in a reasonable period, and that they were virtually complete?
§ MR. H. H. FOWLERsaid, he regretted that he was not yet in a position to present the Papers.
