Mr. LANSBEJRYasked the Under-Secretary of State for India whether the expert recently commissioned by the Government to inquire into the organisation of the sugar industry in the Punjab has delivered his Report; and, if so, whether he will inform the House of the expert's conclusion?
§ Earl WINTERTONThe answer to the first part of the question is in the affirmative. The matter is one for which the Governor, acting with his Ministers is responsible to his Legislative Council; and as my Noble Friend does not know 1381W whether the expert's conclusions have been made public in the Punjab, they cannot be stated here.
