HC Deb 26 July 1910 vol 19 c1920
Mr. KEIR HARDIE

asked the Under-Secretary of State for India whether he is aware that the Lahore municipal council in May last carried a resolution making education free in the primary municipal hoard schools; whether the local government has refused to sanction this resolution; and whether he can explain the grounds upon which this decision to refuse sanction was arrived at?

The UNDER-SECRETARY of STATE for INDIA (Mr. Montagu)

The Secretary of State has no information on the matter, but he is inquiring.

Mr. KEIR HARDIE

Is the Under-Secretary aware that the information was published in this country nearly a month ago?

Mr. MONTAGU

The first time the Secretary for India's attention was drawn to it was when my hon. Friend put his question.
