HC Deb 16 May 1922 vol 154 cc204-8
1. Colonel Sir C. YATE

asked the Under-Secretary of State for India who are the members of the Indian Racial Distinctions Committee; whether the Committee has yet reported; if so, with what result; and what steps have been taken to secure that, while Indians may be placed on the same footing as Europeans under the laws of criminal procedure, nothing is done to abolish the rights now secured to Europeans under the same code?

The UNDER-SECRETARY of STATE for INDIA (Earl Winterton)

I will circulate in the OFFICIAL REPORT a list of the members of this Committee. As it has not yet reported, so far as I am aware, the last part of the question does not yet arise.
