HC Deb 29 November 1917 vol 99 c2224
77. Commander WEDGWOOD

asked the Home Secretary whether he has any documentary evidence that Lajpat Rai is subsidised by German agents in America; if this evidence comes from the American Government; and if it can be shown to the hon. Member for Newcastle-under-Lyme?

Sir G. CAVE

It would obviously be against the public interest to answer the first two parts of this question. The third part, therefore, does not arise.

Commander WEDGWOOD

Why did you make the charges against Lajpat Rai?
