HC Deb 13 June 1895 vol 34 c1057
MR. ALFRED WEBB (Waterford, W.)

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for India if the United Kingdom or India is to bear the expenses incident to the Shahzada's visit to this country?

MR. HENRY FOWLER

The cost of the entertainment of the Shahzada will be defrayed by the Indian Government.

MR. J. CHAMBERLAIN (Birmingham, W.)

Would the right hon. Gentleman repeat his answer? We could not hear it in this part of the House.

MR. H. FOWLER

repeated the answer.

MR. R. W. HANBURY (Preston)

Will the Indian Government bear the entire cost—every penny of it?

MR. H. FOWLER

Yes; but we shall be glad to receive any contribution from the hon. Member.
