Mr. RAMSAY MUIRasked the Prime Minister whether, in view of the gravity of the political situation in India and the rapidity with which it is developing, this House will be informed as to the policy of the Government and afforded an opportunity of discussing it, at an early date, in advance of the presentation of the Indian Estimates?
§ The PRIME MINISTERAs I stated in reply to a question on this subject on Monday last, the situation in India is receiving the constant attention of His Majesty's Government. I regret, however, that owing to the large amount of urgent financial business I cannot see my way to devote a special day for a discussion on this subject other than on the Vote for the India Office in Committee of Supply.
