§ MR. REES (Montgomery Boroughs)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for India whether the rules for the reclamation of waste lands in Assam and the Central Provinces will be amended in accordance with the recommendations of the Famine Commission.
§ THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR INDIA (Mr. MORLEY,) Montrose BurghsThe Government of India state in their recent Resolution regarding land improvements, that after consulting Local Governments they consider the concession suggested by the Famine Commission goes beyond what is needed for any part of India. They are, however, discussing with the Local Governments of Assam and the Central Provinces the expediency of making the waste land rules in these provinces more liberal in certain respects than they now are.
