HC Deb 05 August 1897 vol 52 c399
MR. PICKERSGILL

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for India whether Papers will be presented to Parliament relating to the recent partition of the Jhalawar State, and the annexation of the larger portion of it to the State of Kotah; and whether he will include in these Papers copies of the Dispatches of the Government of India initiating these measures, and of the replies of the Secretary of State in Council confirming the annexation, with any dissents in either case; and whether he will also include a copy of the Treaty by which Jhalawar was established as a separate State in 1838?

LORD GEORGE HAMILTON

My answer to both Questions is in the affirmative, but I must await the final report of the Government on the arrangements made before I can undertake to lay the Papers on the Table.
