asked the Secretary of State for India from what representative organisations in India has he received requests that European education should be a central subject?

Mr. BUTLER

I have received representations in this sense on behalf of the Anglo-Indian and Domiciled European Association and the Association of Heads of European Schools in India.

Sir W. SMILES

Is my hon. Friend aware that many Anglo-Indian children from Calcutta are now educated in the Province of Assam?

Mr. KIRKPATRICK

Can my hon. Friend say that these representations will receive favourable consideration?

Mr. BUTLER

They will receive the most earnest consideration.
