MR. HERBERT ROBERTS (Denbighshire, W.)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for India, whether the Report of the Committee appointed to inquire into the Excise administration of India has been considered by the Government of India; whether the Report will be issued as a Parliamentary Paper; and, if so, whether ho can arrange for its circulation to Members before the House reassembles in October.
§ MR. MORLEYThe Answer to the first Question is in the negative. When I have seen the Report and communicated with the Government of India I will consider whether I can present it; but I am not sure that it can be ready for circulation before the House reassembles.
