§ 2. Sir J. D. REESasked the Secretary of State for India if he has yet received the Report of the Indian Industrial Commission and, if so, whether he proposes to have it published as a Parliamentary Paper or otherwise; whether he has considered the proposals submitted to him in Sir Charles Bedford's Memorandum of August last to set up a representative London advisory council in connection with measures relating to Indian industrial development which would cooperate with similarly constituted provincial councils in India; if so, whether he will take these recommendations into consideration when dealing with the Indian Industrial Commission's Report; and whether he proposes to take action regarding industrial developmental policy apart from the general measures relating to Indian constitutional reforms?
§ Mr. MONTAGUI have received a summary only of the Report, and this has already appeared in the newspapers. I propose to arrange for publication of the Report on receipt of copies from India, for which I have asked. The answer to the last two questions is in the affirmative.
