§ The SECRETARY of STATE for INDIA (Mr. Wedgwood Benn)I gave the House in my speech on Thursday all the information then available, and there is nothing which at this moment I can usefully add to it.
§ Mr. HACKINGWith regard to my question in respect of the boycott in view of the great importance of this part of the agreement to the cotton industry of Lancashire can the right hon. Gentleman say how long he is prepared to wait for an improvement before he will take steps to see that the agreement is carried out in the spirit and in the letter?
§ Mr. BENNI think I said on Thursday that an improved tone was observable. Actual figures of course cannot be given without the lapse of some little time.

§ Mr. BENNI will have an inquiry made as to the shortest period within which the figures can be obtained.
