Sir,
I am directed by the Secretary of State for India in
Council to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of 6th
November 1894 and to acquaint you in reply that it is not
necessary that the Colonial Governments should take any
steps for preventing the illicit export to India of arms
beyond warning the Commanding Officers that they have no
power to grant passes for arms to their men when proceeding
to India.
The Under Secretary of State,
Colonial Office.
