§ MR. CAINE (Cornwall, Camborne)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for India if it is intended to establish a bishopric in the Central Provinces of India; and, if so, what cost will it involve to the Indian Exchequer.
§ THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR INDIA (Lord G. HAMILTON, Middlesex, Ealing)I have not been officially informed of the intention to establish a bishopric in the Central Provinces, but I have reason to think that such a step is contemplated. If established, it will involve no expenditure from Indian revenues in excess of the existing arrangements.
§ MR. T. M. HEALY (Louth, N.)Is it to be a Mohammedan or a Protestant bishopric?
§ [No answer was returned.]
