§ COLONEL NOLAN (Galway, N.)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for India if he can now state to what extent competition has been abolished for entrance to civil State employment in India; if the abolition of competition applies only to natives of India; and if he will state into whose hands will fall the patronage which may arise from the abolition of competition.
§ THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR INDIA (Mr. BRODRICK,) Surrey, GuildfordI have not yet received the Paper promised by the Government of India, and am not in a position to add anything to the answer given on my behalf by the Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs on the 21st March last to the Question on this subject of the hon. Member for West Denbighshire.†
§ COLONEL NOLANIt is more than a month since I asked for information and the right hon. Gentleman then wanted me to give him time?
§ MR. BRODRICKI very much regret the delay. The information has been promised as soon as possible.
