MR. HERBERT ROBERTS (Denbighshire, W.)To ask the Secretary of State for India whether he can give any assurance that the annual statement exhibiting the moral and material pro- 57 gress of India will be issued to Members before the discussion on the Indian Budget takes place.
(Answered by Secretary Lord George Hamilton.) I am informed that the statement will be issued on Monday morning next. As on this occasion a decennial period instead of a single year is dealt with, more time has necessarily been required for preparation and printing.
