§ 1. Mr. Dayasked the Under-Secretary of State for India in what way the Government of India and the Provincial Governments have, during the past two years, endeavoured to improve the economic and medical aspects of administration in the North-West Province of India?
§ The Under-Secretary of State for India (Mr. Butler)I am sending the hon. Member a copy of the Provincial Public Health Report for 1935. A director of agriculture and allied departments was appointed in the North-West Frontier Province in December, 1933. It is not possible within the limits of a reply to a Parliamentary Question to specify the various ways in which he has endeavoured to improve economic prosperity.
§ Mr. DayCan the Minister say whether the steps taken have brought about any diminution of unrest and violence in those parts?
§ Mr. ButlerI feel sure that any step that has been taken has had the desired result.
