§ MR. WEIR (Ross and Cromarty)To ask the Secretary of State for India if he will state whether any steps are being taken to deal with the system of blackmailing third class native passengers on Indian railways by the police.
(Answer.) I have no information on the subject to show that such a system exists, but the Viceroy is about to appoint a Commission of Inquiry into police administration, which will doubtless investigate any complaints of the kind that may be laid before it.—(India Office.)
