1948

RESULTS OF THE OFFICIAL INQUIRY OF 1891-92 One of the reasons which led to the appointment of the Indian Hemp Drugs Commission of 1893-1894 was the agitation conducted in 1891 in Indian newspapers drawing attention' to the high percentage of hemp drug and especially ganja addicts among the inmates of our lunatic asylums. [...] powers of non-effective parts of the system—the Monarchy and the House of Lords—by comparison with the elected element the House of Commons and the steady expansion of the electorate upon which the latters power is based. [...] From the narrow franchise of the 18th century which ensured the control of government by the landed classes in the country and the major mercantile interests of the capital the electorate grew until by 1929 (less than 100 years after the first Reform Bill") it had been extended to every adult man and woman. [...] By the end of the 18th century the former was in fact the Cabinet a committee of the principal ministers enjoying the confidence of the King and depending on the support of a majority in Parliament. [...] As Chairman of the Cabinet he was at the heart of the executive and as leader of the political party comanding a majority in the House of Commons he was able to give direction to the legislative programme.
