HC Deb 13 July 1916 vol 84 c514
13. Mr. GINNELL

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether Mr. S. M. P. Wijetileke, a notary public practising at Matale, Ceylon, is one of the persons whom he alleges to be illiterate and not responsible for his statutory declaration made before a magistrate on the 7th November last with reference to illegalities practised upon him by order of the officer commanding the military at Matale; and, if he is literate and responsible, as his profession implies, what reparation has been made to him?

The SECRETARY of STATE for the COLONIES (Mr. Bonar Law)

I have no information about Mr. Wijetileke, and I see no reason to take any action in the matter.
