§ MR. WEIRTo ask the Secretary of State for India whether he can lay upon the Table of the House any Papers relating to the Government of the Native State of Khairpur since the British Government placed at the disposal of His Highness Mir Sir Faiz Mahomed Khan the services of a native British officer, viz., Khan Bahadur Kadirdad Khan, CLE., late Deputy 361 Collector of Nanshahro Sub-Division, to fill the office of Vazir to His Highness, for the purpose of assisting in the promotion of the good government of the State of Khairpur; and, if not, will he make inquiry as to the character of the administration of Khairpur.
(Answer.) I have received the annual Administration Reports of Khairpur and the favourable reviews passed upon them by the Government of Bombay. I find no reason for laying Papers on the Table, or for instituting any special inquiry in regard to the government of the State, and am satisfied that the Government of India and the local government are exercising the requisite supervision over its affairs.—(India Office.)
