HC Deb 16 June 1903 vol 123 c1052
MR. SCHWANN

To ask the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether the Educational Cess Committee has finished its sittings in Ceylon; and, if so, whether he will state what are the recommendations embodied in the final Report of the Committee, and say whether it deals with the education of the children of Tamil labourers on tea estates and elsewhere.

(Answered by Mr. Secretary Chamberlain.) I have not yet received the Report of the Commission on the Incidence of Taxation in Ceylon to which the hon. Member doubtless refers, and am not aware whether it has yet finished its sittings.
