HC Deb 30 July 1907 vol 179 c742
MR. C. J. O'DONNELL (Newington, Walworth)

To ask the Secretary of State for India whether any and, if any, what reduction, remission, or suspension of and revenue has been made this year in the Rawal Pindi district of the Punjab, in which district recent enhancements of and tax has caused great discontent.

(Answered by Mr. Secretary Morley.) I would refer the hon. Member to the in- formation which I gave with regard to the Rawal Pindi district in my Answer to a similar Question on the 16th July.† The Local Government will set right any cases of over-assessment which may come to light. I do not think that the agricultural circumstances of the district necessitate exceptional measures for remitting or suspending the land revenue. Rules are in force in all districts of the province for the grant of remissions and suspensions in cases of failure of the crops.
