§ MR. STUART (Shoreditch, Hoxton)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for India if he will lay upon the Table a Copy of the Circular issued from Simla, on the 18th of June, 1898, for the purpose of ascertaining from the various medical schools whether female hospital assistants could be obtained to engage in the examination of prostitutes in India; and if he will state the result of the inquiry how many of such hospital assistants have consented to perform these examinations, and on what terms they have been engaged.
§ LORD G. HAMILTONI have seen no copy of the circular in question, but I will make inquiries on the subject.
