HC Deb 28 April 1898 vol 56 c1392
MR. J. HERBERT ROBERTS (Denbighshire, W.)

I beg to ask the secretary of Slate for India when the Papers concerning the Plague in India will be issued; and when he will lay upon the Table of the House the Acts recently passed in India dealing with the Indian Penal Code, the Criminal Procedure Code, and the Post Office?

THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR INDIA

The Papers in question were laid on the Table on the 24th of March, and copies were issued to Members of the House nearly throe weeks ago. As regards the other Papers asked for, they will be presented so soon as the Acts referred to have been considered by the Secretary of State in Council.

MR. J. H. ROBERTS

Can the noble Lord say about how long that will be?

THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR INDIA

I hope in the course of a few days.
