§ SIR LEWIS M'IVER (Edinburgh, W.)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for India if he can state the names and rank of the officials in the several departments who have been held to share in the responsibility for the failure of justice in the case of the West Kent Regiment at Rangoon, and in what form in each instance has the Government of India marked its disapproval.
§ THE SECRETARY' or STATE FOR INDIA (Lord G. HAMILTON, Middlesex, Baling)The Government of India have given a most careful and thorough consideration to this matter, and their reports and conclusions have been re-viewed by myself and by the Secretary of State for War. A certain number of officers, both civil and military, have been censured or otherwise punished for their part in the proceedings; but it has not been thought desirable, except in a few cases, to publish the decisions which have been arrived at; and I am therefore unable to give my hon. friend the information for which he asks.
