HC Deb 01 July 1930 vol 240 cc1790-1W
Major POLE

asked the Secretary of State for India what progress has been made in the consultations between the Government of India and the Provincial Governments on the question of centralising the whole subject of cinchona cultivation and the manufacture and distribution of quinine, as suggested by the Royal Commission on Agriculture in India, as a first step towards the reduction of the price of quinine in India to a level at which it would be possible to embark on an extensive anti-malaria campaign?

Mr. BENN

I have no information later than that given on page 14 of Part I of the Report on the progress made in giving effect to the Royal Commission's recommendations, a copy of which is in the Library of the House.
