asked the Secretary of State for India if he will cause inquiry to be made into the circumstances under which the steam launch "Manoung," on the ferry service between the Risalpur River and Saugor Island, sank in a squall recently; and, in particular, as to whether there were on board more passengers than this launch was licensed to carry?
