HC Deb 14 November 1927 vol 210 c636W
Mr. RENNIE SMITH

asked the Under-Secretary of State for India whether, in view of the feeling aroused in India by the publication in this country of Miss Katherine Mayo's book, "Mother India," he can say whether Miss Mayo was assisted in the production of this book by the India Office or the Government of India?

Earl WINTERTON

Miss Mayo received no assistance in the production of her book, either from the India Office or from the Government of India, beyond the supply of official information on matters of fact which is afforded to any member of the public who asks for it.
