6. Duchess of ATHOLLasked the Secretary of State for India if he is aware that the resident in Mysore has stated to a meeting of representatives of the Bangalore municipality and trade organisations that partial retrocession of the station Had been decided on by the Government of India; and has this statement been made with his approval?
§ Sir S. HOAREI have seen a Press report to this effect, but I do not think that anything that was said can have been intended to convey that any final decision had been taken. I understand that the question is still under discussion.
Duchess of ATHOLLAre we, therefore to understand that this question awaits the decision of Parliament, as stated by my right hon. Friend in reply to my question on 19th March?
§ Sir S. HOAREYes, Sir. I have nothing to add to the answer which I then gave.
