§ 3. Colonel WEDGWOODasked, the Secretary of State for India whether he has seen the reports made by officers of the Central Information Department on the Punjab disturbances; and, if so, will he state whether these reports contain allegations against the local police of participating in the looting, or other conduct likely to make trouble?
§ Mr. FISHERMy right hon. Friend has not seen the reports of Central Information Department officers on the Punjab disturbances, but the Government of India have informed him that the investigations of that Department show that there is no foundation for statements that the police participated in rioting or looting in the course of the disturbances.
§ Colonel WEDGWOODWould it be possible for my right hon. Friend to call for these Reports and inspect them for himself, or enable those who are interested to have a look at them?
§ Mr. FISHERI will certainly do so.
