§ MR. WEIR (Ross and Cromarty)To ask the Secretary of State for India whether he is in a position to state the number of writs and warrants issued in each province in India against Land Revenue defaulters for the year 1901–2; and will he say how the figures compare with the year 1891–2.
(Answered by Secretary Lord George Hamilton.) The Returns of Land Revenue coercive processes have hitherto been compiled on different systems in the different provinces, rendering the compilation of a comparative table impossible. The Government of India have undertaken to obtain figures on a uniform plan from the local Governments, but they have not yet reached me.
