§ Mr. SHEPHERDasked the Under-Secretary of State for India if representations have been made to the Government of India for and against the removal of the capital of the United Provinces from Allahabad to Lucknow; and whether he can state the intentions of the Government of India and of His Majesty's Government in this matter?
§ Earl WINTERTONI assume that the hon. Member is referring to the fact that the Legislative Council of the United Provinces sits at Lucknow instead of at Allahabad. I am not aware whether the Government of India have received any representations or what their intentions are. The subject is not before His Majesty's Government.
