§ SIR CHARLES DILKE (Gloucestershire, Forest of Dean)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for India, with reference to the statement of His Excellency the Viceroy in Council on 26th March that the Indian Government had not expected and can hardly be expected to welcome the proposals of His Majesty's Government with regard to the military scale of pay, and that they have placed their views upon it before His Majesty's Government, whether he can now state when it will be possible to place in the hands of M embers the opinion and arguments of the Indian Government.
§ LORD G. HAMILTONI am not at present in a position to add anything to the information I gave to the House on the 1st May last in answer to a Question asked by the hon. Member for South Molton. †
