HC Deb 24 March 1932 vol 263 c1190
37. Mr. DAVID GRENFELL

asked the Secretary of State for India whether the percentage of male and female literacy in British India and the chief Indian states is rising; and whether he can give the comparable percentage for males and females, respectively, in the last two census returns?

Sir S. HOARE

The literacy figures of last year's census are not yet available. They will probably be ready towards the end of this year.
