§ MR. WEIR (Ross and Cromarty)To ask the Secretary of State for India whether the Government of India have yet approved of the proposals made by the Bengal Government to relieve the Bengal agriculturists of the inequalities of taxation to which they are at present subjected under the Chowkidari Tax.
(Answered by Mr. Secretary Money.) The Government of India have informed me that the proposals of the Bengal Government deal not only with the subject of removing inequalities of assessment, but also with the improvement of the village system and village police, and involve large and extremely difficult questions that have to be dealt with as a whole, and are still under their consideration.
