§ Mr. REESasked the Under-Secretary for India whether the Madras Government, in its recently issued review of the police administration of the Presidency, observed with satisfaction that several of the most experienced district magistrates were able to speak with favour of the work of the force; and whether the Secretary of State will consider the propriety of giving publicity to this expression of opinion and to the like commendations of other provincial administrations?
The MASTER of ELIBANKThe Secretary of State has not yet received the Madras Government's resolution on the last Police Administration Report, but he has seen a summary of it in the newspapers containing statements similar to that mentioned in the question. These reports are 607W always published by the governments in India, and appear to find sufficient publicity through the newspapers.
