§ Colonel YATEasked the Under-Secretary of State for India whether the Secretary of State in Council has yet decided in regard to the scheme for the reorganisation of the Political Department of the Government of India; and, if so, whether that decision has been communicated to the Government of India, and when its details will be made known?
§ The PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY to the BOARD of EDUCATION (Mr. Trevelyan)Perhaps the hon. Member will allow me to answer this question. The Secretary of State in Council has approved general lines of reorganisation for the Indian Political Department, and his decision has been conveyed to the Government of India, who are now engaged in working out the details. I hope that it will be possible to make these public at an early date.
