§ Sir C. YATEasked the Secretary of State for India whether the Legislative Council of the Central Provinces has passed a Resolution to abolish the appointments of Commissioners of Divisions; and, if so, what action is being taken by the Government of India in the matter?
§ Mr. MONTAGUThe answer to the first part of the question is in the affirmative. I have not yet received any official communication on the subject from the local Government or the Government of India and no action could be taken in the sense indicated in the Resolution without the sanction of the Secretary of State in Council.
