Sir HERBERT ROBERTSasked the Under-Secretary for India whether the Return showing the number and constitution of local Advisory Committees appointed in connection with the granting of licences for the sale of intoxicating liquors will be issued before the end of the present Session?
§ Mr. MONTAGUThe Return has not yet been received from India. The Government of India, no doubt, will do what they can to expedite it, but as a reference to Local Governments and districts is involved, it may take some time to prepare. I will lay it as soon as it is received.
