HC Deb 07 January 1913 vol 46 c976
8. Mr. KING

asked whether the Government of India have undertaken, through the Archaeological Survey of India, to collect illustrations and statistics relative to the modern Indian architecture and buildings; and, if so, when the material so collected will be available?

Mr. BAKER

Under Standing Orders issued in 1911 by the Government of India archaeological surveyors while on tour photograph any interesting types of modern Indian buildings and note the names, rates of remuneration, etc., of the principal craftsmen. Inquiry will be made as to when and in what form the material thus collected will be made available.

Mr. KING

Have these photographs been published yet?

Mr. BAKER

No, Sir. I am not sure the collection is yet complete.
