§ MR. WEIR (ROSS and Cromarty)To ask the Secretary of State for India, having regard to the fact that the reconnaissance of two alternative routes for the construction of the Vizamgam-Malia line has been sanctioned, will he state when the reconnaissances are likely to be completed; and whether either route passes through the territory of the Rao of Cutch.
(Answered by Mr. Secretary Morley.) I regret that. I am unable at present to state when the reconnaissance sanctioned in January last will be completed. One of the routes to be reconnoitred passes 203 through the territories of the Rao of Cutch.
