HC Deb 24 June 1902 vol 109 cc1516-7
MR. WEIR

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for India if he will state the income per head of the people of India during the year 1900. † See (4) Debates. cv., 823.

THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR INDIA (Lord GEORGE HAMILTON,) Middlesex, Ealing

I am afraid that I can not comply with the hon. Member's request. Any such estimate so depends on hypothetical data as to deprive it of the authority which should be attached to official figures.
