§ VISCOUNT CROSSgave Notice that on an early day he should call attention to the great delay in the presentation of the Report of the Opium Commission. That Commission, he believed, finished its sittings before Parliament was prorogued last Autumn, and, as he understood, the Report itself was promised in the Autumn. It had not yet appeared, and he could not help saying it was somewhat unfair to the Indian Government that they should not know what the Report of the Commission might be. At the same time he should call attention to the expenditure which had been placed on the Indian Government in consequence of this Commission. They must bear half the expense of the Commission, which, he was bound to say, in the circumstances, seemed extremely hard.
