HC Deb 08 May 1900 vol 82 c1092
MR. MACLEAN

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for India whether the suggestion has been made to the Viceroy of India that he could get a national grant from England in aid of famine relief if he chose to apply for it; and, if so, why he has not acted on the suggestion.

LORD G. HAMILTON

I am not aware that any suggestion such as is described in my hon. friend's question has been made to the Viceroy of India.
