§ 57. Major POLEasked the Secretary of State for India if he can give information showing which of the provincial Governments in British India have enacted legislation prohibiting the smoking of opium; and if action is being taken towards the same end in those provinces where opium smoking is still permitted by law?
§ The SECRETARY of STATE for INDIA (Mr. Wedgwood Benn)I could not adequately answer this question within the limits of an oral reply. I am having my hon. and gallant Friend supplied with a copy of a recent report to the League of Nations and would invite his attention to pages 11 and 12.
