§ Sir J. D. REESasked the Under-Secretary of State for India whether the Government of India has prohibited the export of cinchona, and, if so, whether he will, if no objection exists, inform the House of the reasons for such prohibition?
§ Mr. C. ROBERTSBy a Notification issued on the 10th August, 1914, the Government of India prohibited the export from India, except by land, of medical and surgical stores and equipment of every description. The reason for the prohibition was to ensure the retention in India I of sufficient supplies of this kind for Government requirements.
