HC Deb 18 July 1927 vol 209 cc2-3
1. Mr. DALTON

asked the Under-Secretary of State for India whether the Government of India is appointing a committee to investigate the opium traffic in India; if so, what are the terms of reference; and whether the committee will include independent members?

The UNDER-SECRETARY of STATE for INDIA (Earl Winterton)

The Government of India announced in June, 1926, that they had been considering suggestions for an inquiry of the kind referred to by the hon. Member, but had decided that it was unnecessary.

Mr. WARDLAW-MILNE

If there is an inquiry at any time, will steps be taken to see that the tremendous sacrifices made by the Government and peoples of India are brought out?
