§ 27. Mr. GRENFELLasked the Under-Secretary of State for India whether he has any statement to make on the present position in India?
§ The UNDER-SECRETARY of STATE for INDIA (Mr. Butler)The situation 18 in India remains satisfactory and is substantially the same as when I answered a similar question by the hon. Member on 4th February.
§ Mr. GRENFELLDoes the hon. Gentleman suggest that there have been no events worthy of note by the Government since the last question was answered?
§ Mr. BUTLERI am very glad to be able to say that the situation about which I was asked remains satisfactory, and that, I think, is the best answer to the general question which the hon. Gentleman has asked. If he desires information on specific points, I shall be glad to give him an answer, if he will put down a question.
§ Sir P. HANNONWould it not be better to leave questions of this kind seeing that the new Governor-General has only just gone into office?
