§ SIR SEYMOUR KING (Hull, Central)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for India whether he is aware that the imports into India of bounty-fed sugar are seriously affecting the refining industry and reducing the cultivation of the sugar plant, and consequently the revenues of the Government of India; whether he 682 expects to be able to lay upon the Table at an early date the results of the inquiries now being carried on by the Indian Government as to the extent and effects of the competition of bounty-fed sugar in India; and what steps the Government of India propose to take to prevent the destruction of the industry?
THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOE INDIAI have been for some time past in communication with the Government-of India upon the subject of the Question of my honourable Friend, but our correspondence has not yet arrived at a point which enables me to publish it.
