§ SIR H. COTTON (Nottingham, E.)To ask the Secretary of State for India whether his attention has been drawn to the fact that a number of schoolboys belonging to a Government school at Noakhali, in Eastern Bengal and Assam, have been expelled for attending a Swadishi meeting; and whether, having regard to the fact that orders have been issued for the unconditional reinstatement of schoolboys who had been expelled on so-called political considerations, he will issue instructions that these orders shall be made general in their application to the whole province.
(Answered by Mr. Secretary Morley.) The attention of the Government of India is closely engaged on these matters, and I cannot say more at present.
