§ 1. Mr. LANSBURYasked the Under-Secretary of State for India whether His Majesty's Government has received any requests to constitute the Audhara-Telegu districts of Madras into a separate province; and what steps His Majesty's Government propose to take in the matter?
§ The UNDER-SECRETARY of STATE for INDIA (Earl Winterton)I am aware that this proposition has been mooted for some time among certain sections of the population of the Madras Presidency, but so far as I am aware it has not yet been advocated by the Madras Legislative Council or by the Indian Legislature,, and no proposals have reached His Majesty's Government.
