§ SIR WILLIAM WEDDERBURN (Banffshire)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for India, whether he is aware that public attention in India has lately been directed to various suggestions for a forward movement in the direction of Tibet; and, whether he will undertake that, in the event of such a movement being made beyond the Indian frontiers, no expense in connection with it shall be imposed upon the taxpayers of India?
§ THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR INDIA (Lord GEORGE HAMILTON,) Middlesex, EalingI understand that some suggestions of the kind indicated in the honourable Member's Question have been made by irresponsible persons; but, as nothing of the sort has come under my consideration I am unable to say anything further on the subject.
