§ Mr. JAMES HOGGEasked the Under-Secretary of State for India whether the India Office propose to place the Indian students at Edinburgh University under the guardianship of its official representative; whether he is aware that the Indian students there have passed a unanimous resolution resenting this action; and what lie proposes to do in the circumstances?
Mr. BAKERThe Secretary of State has received a copy of the resolution referred to, which seems to rest upon a misconception of the functions attaching to local advisers to Indian students in University centres and of the purpose of these appointments. No adviser has yet been appointed at Edinburgh, and the Secretary of State is unable to make any further statement at present.
