MR. HERBERT ROBERTS (Denbighshire, W.)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for India whether he will state when the financial statement, with the proceedings thereon, in the Viceroy's Legislative Council will be placed in the hands of Members.
§ THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR INDIA (Lord G. HAMILTON, Middlesex, Ealing)In order to save the expense of reprinting, it was arranged last year that copies of the financial statement, with the proceedings in the Legislative Council thereon, should be despatched from India for the use of Members of the House. I have ascertained that the requisite supply is on its way to England, and may be ex- 914 pected to be in the hands of Members by about the end of the Whitsuntide recess.
