§ MR. MACLEAN (Cardiff)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for India whether he has received the official Papers relating to the Indian Sugar 787 Duty Act; and whether the Government can now conveniently fix a day for the discussion of the subject in this House?
THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR INDIAThat does not depend on me, ser, Ealing): The Papers reached London by the last mail; they have been sent to be printed. As regards the second part of the Question, I must refer the honourable Member to the First Lord of the Treasury.
§ SIR H. FOWLER (Wolverhampton, E.)When will we be able to obtain the Papers?
THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR INDIAThat does not depend on me, but I hope in the course of a very few days
§ MR. MACLEANCan the First Lord of the Treasury answer the latter part of my Question?
§ THE FIRST LORD OF THE TREASURYI am afraid that it is impossible, in the present state of public business, for me to give any pledge with regard to a day for the discussion of the sugar bounties question, although it is, I admit, a question of much interest, and one the discussion of which the Government have no reason to fear.
