HC Deb 17 May 1909 vol 5 cc183-4W
Sir WILLIAM BULL

asked the Under-Secretary of State for India if the scheme proposed by the Government of India in their letter to the Bombay Government of 4th December, 1907, on the subject of the improvement of the sanitary services in India and of the development of the exist- ing establishments, is completed; and whether any, and, if so, what special provisions are made therein to give effect to the view set forth in that letter that a sanitary service offers a suitable and congenial career for educated natives of the country, and that by fully utilising that source of supply the Government will avoid the expense of materially enlarging the Indian medical service

Mr. HOBHOUSE (in the absence of Mr. Buchanan)

The scheme has not yet been completed. The Secretary of State attaches great importance to the inclusion in any such scheme of special provisions of the kind to which the hon. Member refers.
