§ MR. O'GRADY (Leeds, E.)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for India whether, in view of the action of the Lieutenant-Governor of Eastern Bengal and Assam, in dispersing by force the Bengal Provincial Conference, in preventing and breaking up peaceful and religious processions, in interfering with municipal commissioners and honorary magistrates and other persons who are in favour of the Swadeshi movement, in the frequent prosecution of schoolboys and in other measures, he proposes to hold an inquiry by means of a Commission, or otherwise, in order to devise means of allaying the unrest which now prevails in the new Province.
§ THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR INDIA (Mr. MORLEY,) Montrose BurghsAs I stated in reply to a Question on May 14th, † it is the wish and the intention of the Government to take such measures as may seem most likely to allay unrest. But I am not at all disposed to think that a Commission is necessary, nor do I think that it would be desirable.
