MR. HENRY J. WILSON

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for India, if he can state what is the quantity of land under poppy cultivation this year in the Behar and Benares Agencies, respectively, as compared with the years 1893–4 and 1894–5?

LORD GEORGE HAMILTON

Information regarding the area under poppy cultivation during the present season, the spring of 1896, has not yet reached me.
