§ 12. Mr. WARDLAW-MILNEasked the Under-Secretary of State for India whether he is aware that a Committee was recently appointed by the Government of Bombay to consider the progress made with the Back Bay Reclamation Scheme, and to decide what action should be taken in regard to the project, and that the Committee has recommended that the whole project be abandoned; whether the recommendation has been accepted; and what the eventual financial loss in this event will be?
§ Earl WINTERTONI understand that a Committee on the Back Bay Reclamation Scheme was appointed by the Government of Bombay and has recently reported. The Report has not yet reached my Noble Friend, and I am unable to say what action will be taken on it by the Government of Bombay. Perhaps my hon. Friend I will put a further question at a later date.
