§ MR. PRICE (Norfolk, E.)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for India whether some portion of the labour now employed on relief work in India is being used or can be used for the further provision of tanks and other minor irrigation works.
§ LORD G. HAMILTONThe periodical reports received from the famine districts show that famine workers are largely employed on digging canals, excavating or improving tanks, and sinking wells. But it is not possible everywhere to construct suitable works of this kind.
