Lord StanleyI would refer my hon. Friend to the statement of the revised estimates of the revenue and expenditure of the Government of India and the Provincial Governments for 1936–37 which, since it relates to the period before the commencement of Part III of the Government of India Act, 1935, will shortly be presented to Parliament in pursuance of the Government of India (Commencement and Transitory Provisions) Order, 1936.
