HC Deb 20 March 1902 vol 105 c542
MR. WEIR

I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for India whether he has now received a copy of the letter which was sent on the 25th August. 1901, by Sirdar Balvant Ramchandra Natu, of Poona, to J. L. Jenkins, Esq., I.C.S., Secretary to the Government of Bombay; will he ascertain why no notice whatever has been taken of this letter, not even an acknowledgment having been given; and will he state when Sirdar Natu's claims will be considered.

LORD G. HAMILTON

I am informed that the letter in question was handed in personally by one of the Natus, who was verbally told that his allegations would receive full consideration. They relate to numerous petty items of account, and are still under investigation, but will be decided as soon as possible.
