with the proposals of the Commission.
With respect to the Military Charges for Aden,
Lord George Hamilton desires me to suggest that the sum to
be granted from Imperial revenues might equitably be fixed
at £100,000 a year, being slightly in excess of the share
which the Commissioners considered that the Imperial Govern
ment should bear, but on the other hand, somewhat less than
the sum (£108,000) by which they apparently intended that
India should benefit under this head.
If these suggestions are accepted by the Lords
Commissioners, the total amount of relief to be received by

No. 12,560.
26th July, 1900.
I am directed by the Lords Commissioners of Her Majesty’s
Treasury to acknowledge the receipt of your letter (F.3418)
of the 17th instant, on the subject of the recommendations
of the Royal Commission on the Administration of the Ex
penditure of India with regard to the financial relations
between Her Majesty’s Government and the Government of India.
As the proposals of the Secretary of State for
India in Council affect not only the Treasury but also the
Foreign Office and War Office, it is necessary that my Lords
should consult these Departments; and this has been done by
their Lordships, who, on receipt of replies, will communicate
their decision to you forthwith.
Meantime, it would be convenient to their Lordships
to be informed, as soon as possible, whether they are correct
in assuming that Lord George Hamilton proposes that the new
financial arrangements should come into force on 1st April
1901.
I am, &c.
