Earl WINTERTON

No decision by the Government of India is involved. In pursuance of the Government of India Act my Noble Friend is taking steps to lay on the Table of both Houses the Indian Finance Act, 1923, which I would remind the hon. Member is already in operation in accordance with Section 67b Sub-section (2) Government of India Act. The Paper is expected to be ready for distribution shortly.
