Mr. A. SHAW

asked the Secretary of State for India whether he can now make any definite statement regarding the Grand Trunk Canal and Inland Harbour Scheme in Bengal; and when operations will be commenced?

Mr. MONTAGU:

The scheme was sanctioned in May last. I have no information as to the exact date when operations will commence, but I know that the Government of Bengal are anxious to make a start as soon as possible.
