§ MR. JAMES STUARTI beg to ask the Secretary of State for India whether he will lay upon the Table of the House the text of the memorial recently presented to him, signed by upwards of 60,000 women, and by branches of the British Women's Temperance Association, expressing their objections to any intervention of the State for the regulation of immorality. The hon. Member also asked the Secretary of State for India whether he has received a memorial from the British Committee of the Federation for the abolition of State Regulation of Vice, praying him not to sanction the new cantonment regulations proposed by the Government of India, and protesting against the repeal of the Cantonment Act Amendment Act of 1895; whether he will forward that protest to the proper authority in India; and, whether he will lay upon the Table of the House the text of the memorial?
§ LORD GEORGE HAMILTONI have no objection to laying the text of the memorials from the British Women's Temperance Association and the British Committee of the Federation for the abolition of State Regulation of Vice on the Table of the House if the hon. Member will move for them; and I propose to forward the memorials for the information of the Government of India.
