MR. HERBERT ROBERTS (Denbighshire, W.)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for India whether he will lay upon the Table the correspondence between the Government of India and the Secretary of State on Mr. Robertson's Report on the Administration of the Indian Railways: and whether he will state why the Government of India in the Legislative Council refused to publish this correspondence.
§ THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR INDIA (Mr. BRODRICK,) Surrey, GuildfordI have been in correspondence with the Government of India on the subject of the hon. Member's Question, and do not think it desirable to publish the correspondence at present. The substance of the decision arrived at as to the constitution and powers of the new Railway Board has been published in the Resolution of the Government of India included in the Gazette of India of 18th February last. The other questions dealt with in Mr. Robertson's Report are for the most part still under consideration.
