§ MR. HENRY J. WILSON (Yorkshire, W.R., Holmfirth)To ask the Secretary of State for India whether his attention has been directed to the order of the Governor of Bombay, on pages 123–4 of the Bombay Government Gazette;,) of 3rd July, 1902; and if he can now say why Section 204 of the Cantonment Code, 1899, has been extended to the city of Hyderabad and to 109 villages in the vicinity of the Hyderabad cantonment; and, will he state, approximately, what is the area so affected.
(Answered by Secretary Lord George Hamilton.) In the absence of any indication as to which Hyderabad the hon. Member referred to in the Question on yesterday's Paper, I assumed that Hyderabad, Deccan, was meant; the hon. Member has now made it clear that he refers to Hyderabad, Sindh, and my attention has been called to the notification which he quotes, but I find that I have no other information on the subject, and am unable to give the area of the villages mentioned. I will, however, cause inquiry to be made.
