MR. HERBERT ROBERTS (Denbighshire, W.)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for India whether he has received the Report of the Inquiry into the Excise administration in Assam; and, if not, whether he will be in a position to give the House information as to the general results of the inquiry before the close of the session.
§ THE UNDER SECRETARY OF STATE FOR INDIA (Earl PERCY,) Kensington, S.I have ascertained from the Viceroy that the Report on the Inquiry has not yet been received from the local administration, and that it therefore cannot reach me before the close of the session.
