§ 50. Lieut.-Commander KENWORTHYasked the Prime Minister, what action His Majesty's Government intend to take on the Report of the disturbances in the Punjab in April 1919 (Cmd. 534)?
§ Mr. BONAR LAWThe extract from the Punjab Government's Report to, the Government of India, published as Cmd. 534, is merely a narrative of events. Until the Committee now sitting in India under Lord Hunter to enquire into the disturbances in Bombay Presidency and Delhi, as well as those in the Punjab, has 508 reported to the Government of India, and the Government of India have expressed their views to the Secretary of State it would obviously be improper to take any action.
§ Lieut.-Commander KENWORTHYWill the Report of Lord Hunter's Committee be laid upon the table of the House?
§ Mr. BONAR LAWOh, I have no doubt, but perhaps the hon. and gallant Member will put a question to the Secretary of State for India.
§ Colonel WEDGWOODCould the right hon. Gentleman say when the Secretary of State for India will be in his place in the House?
§ Mr. BONAR LAWAs my hon. and gallant Friend knows, he is not well, but I think it will be a question of only a week or two before he will be back.
