§ DR. HAZEL (West Bromwich)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for India whether any proposal has reached him for the appointment of a European officer to be a professor of Sanskrit in the Presidency College at Calcutta; and whether, seeing that the general feeling in India is in favour of employing properly qualified Indians to be teachers of Sanskrit in the Government colleges, he will state what action he has taken, or proposes to take, in the matter of the above-mentioned appointment.
§ THE UNDER-SECRETARY OF STATE FOR INDIA (Mr. JOHN ELLIS,) Nottinghamshire, RushcliffeThe subject is still under the consideration of the Government of India, and, as was stated in reply to a similar Question on 15th May last, † the Secretary of State will not neglect the point which the hon. Member raises.
