OPIUM EXPORTS FROM INDIA.
Dr. Rutherford (Middlesex, Brentford Min.) in the House of Commons last month, asked the Under-Secretary for India what were the opium exports from India in 1905. 1906. 1907, 1908. and 1909, respectively; and what steps the Government were taking to carry out their declared policy with the Government of China.
Mr. Hobhouse (Bristol, E., Min.)-The figures are:-1905. 63.053 chests; 1906, 63.617 chests; 1907, 63,415 chests; 1908, 62,408 chests. In 1909 the export will be limited to 56,800 chests. In accordance with the arrangement made with China the export of opium from India is being reduced by 5.100 chests per annum. This is with effect from 1908, the average export for the five years ended 1905 being taken, as suggested by the Chinese Government, as the basis of the calculation.
