HC Deb 03 May 1909 vol 4 c864W
Mr. RIDSDALE

asked the Under-Secretary of State for India if he can give any official estimate of the amounts of gold and of silver, respectively, which are lying hoarded in the Dependency?

Mr. HOBHOUSE (for Mr. Buchanan)

Any calculation on the subject must include many conjectural factors, and the Secretary of State is therefore not prepared to give an official estimate.
