HC Deb 06 December 1906 vol 166 c1174
* MR. REES (Montgomery Boroughs)

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for India whether he is aware that the Bengal Chamber of Commence desire it to be known that they have never contemplated, and are not contemplating, any deputation regarding the partition of Bengal, and that the use of their name in connection with suggested deputations against such partition is without foundation; and absolutely unwarranted; and what action, if any, he intends to take in regard to this declaration.

THE UNDER-SECRETARY OF STATE FOR INDIA (Mr. JOHN ELLIS,) Nottinghamshire, Rushcliffe

The Secretary of State has observed a statement to the effect mentioned in the public Press. He does not propose to take any action in regard to it.
