HC Deb 02 May 1933 vol 277 c680W
Mr. MORGAN JONES

asked the Secretary of State for India whether he will ascertain from the Government of India, with regard to the proposal by the Government of the United Provinces to transfer the secretariat from Allahabad to Lucknow, what are the reasons that have led the provincial Government to take such a step; and what is the estimated cost of the removal?

Sir S. HOARE

I understand that the Government of the United Provinces have not yet reached any conclusion on this matter and are still examining the question of the cost involved.
