HC Deb 05 November 1908 vol 195 c1392
CAPTAIN ARTHUR MURRAY (Kincardineshire)

I beg to ask the Under-Secretary of State for India whether numerous meetings have been held throughout India consisting of maharajahs, rajahs, zemindars, and Indian representatives of various public bodies, at which resolutions have been passed condemning the outbreaks of sedition on the part of a small section of the Indian community, expressing their loyalty to the Government, and appealing to the masses of the population to adhere firmly to the side of law and order; and if so, whether he will consider the advisability of publishing such resolutions.

THE UNDER - SECRETARY OF STATE FOR INDIA (Mr. BUCHANAN,) Perthshire, E.

The Answer to the first Question is in the affirmative; many of the resolutions passed at the meetings referred to have boon published in the newspapers, and the Secretary of State does not see any advantage in the course proposed in the question.
