HC Deb 26 February 1907 vol 169 cc1421-2
MAJOR ANSTRUTHER-GRAY

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for India whether his attention has been directed to the fact that a crowd of Indian natives, on Friday the 15th inst., paraded the streets of Lahore hooting every European they met; and whether, as this is a new departure since the days of the Mutiny, he intends to take any action in the matter.

MR. MORLEY

I have seen a report to the effect stated. It is a matter for the local authorities, and I do not propose to take any action.

SIR GILBERT PARKER (Gravesend)

asked whether this incident was to be attributed to the general unrest in India.

MR. MORLEY

No, Sir. I do not believe it has the slightest connection with what the hon. Gentleman is pleased to call the general unrest in India, as to which I am rather sceptical.
