1. Mr. Sorensen

asked the Secretary of State for Commonwealth Relations what further progress has been made in discussions with the Governments of India and Pakistan in respect of the former India Office Library; to what extent that Library is now being used: and what was the approximate proportion of books in the Library of which there are no copies in other Libraries in this country.

Mr. Sandys

The discussions between the three Governments are continuing.

On an average during the past year, 40 persons have used the Reading Room each day. I regret that the information asked for in the last part of the Question is not available.
