Mr. PARKINSON

asked the Secretary of State for India if he will give particulars showing what items of expenditure incurred by the holding of the first and second India Round Table Conference in London were chargeable on Indian and British revenues, respectively?

Sir S. HOARE

Indian revenues were charged with the cost of the staff sup plied from India, with the cost of the passages of the delegates and their allowances on the voyage and with a small proportion of their allowances while in England. The major proportion of the latter was charged to British revenues, together with the whole cost of the actual conference at St. James's Palace.
