LORD STRABOLGIasked His Majesty's Government what is the total approxi 864WA mate area and population of the excluded and partially excluded areas respectively, cited in the Government of India (Excluded and Partially Excluded Areas) Order, 1936.
§ THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR INDIA (THE MARQUESS OF ZETLAND)I regret that I have not sufficient detailed information to enable me to give fully the totals for which the noble Lord asks. But I am able to supply him with certain figures, which will, I hope, serve his purpose.
