INDIA.—QUESTION.
THE DUKE OF ARGYLLsaid, it appeared from discussions in the public press that Her Majesty's Government were in possession of the answers which were given by various civil and military officers to certain questions put by Sir John Lawrence in respect to the popularity of our Government in India. As those answers were of great interest, it was desirable that they should be communicated to Parliament. He had no doubt that the Government would not object to the production of those answers.
THE EARL OF MALMESBURYsaid, as no notice had been given of the Question of the noble Duke he could not yet give an answer; but he did not think there would be any objection to lay the papers on the table.
House adjourned at a quarter-past Five o'clock, till To-morrow, half-past Ten o'clock.
