HC Deb 28 July 1908 vol 193 c1213
*MR. REES

I beg to ask the Under-Secretary of State for India whether a branch of the Manicktollah bomb factory has been discovered in Sylhet?

MR. BUCHANAN

The Secretary of State has no official information on this subject, but he gathers from the newspapers that arrests have been made at a place in the Sylhet district of persons who admit being engaged in the manufacture of bombs for revolutionary purposes.

MR. KEIR HARDIE (Merthyr Tydvil)

Was this information obtained through Reuter's agency?

MR. BUCHANAN

I cannot say.
