11. Mr. JOHN

asked the Secretary of State for India the number of Ordinances now in operation in India, and the dates on which these Ordinances were promulgated?

Sir S. HOARE

I am circulating a statement.

Following is the statement:

between Hindus and Moslems are getting better and better every day?

Sir S. HOARE

Yea, Sir. I have already said, in answer to an earlier question, that the situation is improving.

26. Mr. HANNON

asked the Secretary of State for India whether the report of Mr. Leonard Middleton, who was appointed by the Maharajah of Kashmir to investigate the facts connected with the disturbances in Kashmir State last September, will be made available for Members of this House; and when he will be able to make a statement on the substance of the report?

Sir S. HOARE

Mr. Middleton's report will be submitted to His Highness the Maharaja. I am not yet aware whether His Highness will make the report public.

Mr. MORGAN JONES

Will the report be available to this House?

Sir S. HOARE

I think that I can certainly give that undertaking, if it is decided to make the report public.

12. Lieut. - Colonel Sir WALTER SMILES

asked the Secretary of State for India whether, in view of the evidence that the existing discontent in Kashmir is being exploited by Bolshevist agents, the Government of India is prepared to take over the administration of this State?

Sir S. HOARE

I have received no evidence of the kind to which my hon. and gallant Friend refers.
