§ 31. Sir J. D. REESasked the Under- Secretary of State for India whether the Government has under consideration the provision of two mails a week for India, and will entertain this suggestion when the contract with the Peninsular and Oriental Company comes up for renewal this year?
§ Mr. MONTAGUThe suggestion mentioned in the question is not before the Indian Government, and it is not possible to say whether it is one which could with advantage be brought by that Government to the notice of the Postmaster-General, with whom the making or renewing of contracts for mails rests.
