asked the Under-Secretary of State for India whether the strike inquiry committee, set up to inquire into matters connected with the dispute leading to the prolonged mill strike in Bombay last year, has now reported; and, if so, whether he will inform the House of the terms of the committee's findings and recommendations?

It was expected that the Committee would report by the middle of this month, but I have not yet received information of its presentation from the Bombay Government to whom it will be made.

Has the Under-Secretary any knowledge as to when we may expect to receive this report?

I do not think there will be any undue delay in forwarding this report after it is received by the local government. If nothing is heard during the course of this month, my Noble Friend will make inquiries.
