HC Deb 16 May 1927 vol 206 cc880-1
4. Mr. T. WILLIAMS

asked the Under-Secretary of State for India whether he will give the names of the prisoners detained under the Criminal Law Amendment Act, 1925, who have, or are suspected to be suffering from, tuberculosis; and whether the Government have under consideration removing these prisoners to surroundings more conducive to the restoration of their health?

Earl WINTERTON

The two persons in question are Jiban Lal Chatterjee and Subhas Chandra Bose. The former was removed to a sanatorium a month ago. I hope to be in a position to make an announcement about Mr. Bose in the course of the next two days.
