HC Deb 18 June 1907 vol 176 cc327-8
* CAPTAIN FABER (Hampshire, Andover)

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether, before the Home Office Vote is taken, he will print all the police reports and communications which have been addressed to the Home Office on the subject of Edalji since the outrages commenced to the present day.

MR. GLADSTONE

No, Sir. As I intimated in reply to several Questions yesterday, I do not propose to publish any further Papers in connection with this case.

CAPTAIN CRAIG (Down, E.)

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many police reports upon the Edalji case care now in existence which have not been shown to him or his friends; and whether any of them were before the Edalji Committee.

MR. GLADSTONE

No police reports have been shown to Mr. Edalji or to his friends. All the documents in the possession of the Home Office were submitted to Sir Arthur Wilson and his colleagues.
