§ MR. S. SMITH (Flintshire)Mr. Speaker, I have to present a Petition from a public meeting held at Bombay, and signed by the Chairman, expressing alarm at the growing military expenditure of India, especially on the North-West Frontier, and stating that India is not able to bear that expenditure, and that much of it is for Imperial purposes rather than Indian, and praying that this "Honourable House will relieve the Indian Exchequer of a substantial portion, if not of the entire charges, for the operations in the Kurram and Chitral Valleys."
§ MR. SPEAKEROrder, order ! I may tell the hon. Member that the Petition is out of order if it proposes to deal with public money and taxation.
