HC Deb 04 March 1897 vol 46 c1593
SIR WILLIAM WEDDERBURN

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for India whether, in filling up the approaching vacancies in the Indian Council, he will consider the expediency of appointing an experienced and representative Indian?

LORD GEORGE HAMILTON

The suggestion which the hon. Baronet puts forward is one which I have already considered, but I have not been able to find that association of recent administrative experience and general representation of native views sufficiently combined in one individual to enable me to act upon it.
