§ 6. Sir J. D. REESasked the Secretary of State for India whether gold mining has been or will be declared an essential industry?
§ Mr. CHAMBERLAINI am not altogether clear as to the meaning of my hon. Friend's question, but no such declaration has been made or is at present contemplated.
§ Sir J. D. REESIs anything contemplated in India somewhat similar to the National Service movement in this country? It was so stated in some of the papers.
§ Mr. CHAMBERLAINMy hon. Friend does not know his own question. The question is whether gold mining has been or will be declared an essential industry?
§ Sir J. D. REESYes, I know; but I will put it down again.
