§ 5. Colonel WEDGWOODasked the Secretary of State for India if Lord Hunter has left or is on the point of leaving India; if the Report by his Committee has been submitted or is ready for submission; if he could state when that Report is to be published; and when time can be allotted for discussing in the House the issues that that Report is sure to raise?
§ Mr. FISHERI understand that Lord Hunter is on his way home, and that the Report of his Committee reached the Government of India a few days ago. It will be published as soon as possible, but cannot be published before the House rises, so that the question of allotting time is not immediate.
§ 17. Mr. NEIL MACLEANasked the Secretary of State for India whether Lord Hunter, before leaving India on or about the 13th instant, handed in the Report of his Committee to the Government of India; whether it is the intention of the Government to publish that Report in this country and in India; and whether the evidence tendered by the ex-Governor of the Punjab, the Chief Secretary to the Punjab Government, and on behalf of the military authorities will be included or published separately?
§ Mr. FISHERThe answer to the first two parts of the question is in the affirmative. I cannot yet make any definite statement as to the publication of evidence.
