§ MR. REESI beg to ask the Under-Secretary of State for India whether certain Bengali students holding Government scholarships at the Royal Agricultural College at Cirencester wore in the classrooms medals in celebration of the Indian Mutiny; and, if so, whether they were ordered to remove such medals; and whether they continue to hold the Government scholarships.
§ MR. BUCHANANThe Secretary of State understands from the Principal of the College that certain Indian students did appear in the classrooms wearing a 77 medal with a disloyal inscription. They are not Bengalis, nor do they hold Government scholarships. The matter has been dealt with by the Principal in exercise of his disciplinary authority.
§ MAJOR ANSTRUTHER-GRAY (St. Andrews Burghs)Are we to understand that the practice has been definitely put a stop to?
§ MR. BUCHANANI hope so.
