§ MR. DAVID THOMASI beg to ask the Secretary of State for India to what extent, if any, he proposes to apply the surpluses, which there may be, of the Indian Exchequer to the development of Indian industries, and whether he will consider the desirability of their application to the remission of taxation.
§ LORD G. HAMILTONThe financial arrangements for India for 1902–03 are now being carefully considered, but I cannot anticipate in any way the statement which will be made in India by the Finance Minister in the usual way towards the end of next month.
