12. Mr. MacCALLUM SCOTTasked the Under-Secretary of State for India whether he has been officially informed of the result of the voting in the Viceroy's Legislative Council on Mr. Banerjea's motion for the separation of judicial from executive functions; if so, whether the whole of the Indian members, Hindus and Mahomedans, voted without exception in favour of it; whether this unanimity is without precedent in the history of the reformed Council; and whether the Government of India has yet come to any decision upon this important subject?
§ Mr. MONTAGUThe answer to the first part of the question is in the negative; the second part therefore does not arise; to the third part, I do not know; and to the fourth, No.
