HC Deb 25 June 1908 vol 191 c114
DR. RUTHERFORD

I beg to ask the Prime Minister when His Majesty's Government purpose submitting to the House any measures of reform for India.

MR. ASQUITH

The consideration of measures of reform by the Government of India in consultation with the local Governments is drawing to a close, and the result is shortly to be submitted to the Secretary of State for India. His Majesty's Government will then decide upon the course best calculated to further the objects in view. It is impossible to fix a precise date.

MR. REES

Arising out of this Answer, may I ask the Prime Minister whether such reforms will operate only in India, or whether they will deal with the encouragement afforded in the United Kingdom to agitation against our rule in India?

[No Answer was returned.]
