HC Deb 02 October 1924 vol 177 c293
12. Colonel Sir CHARLES YATE

asked the Home Secretary if his attention has been drawn to an article headed, "Working women murdered by Imperialism, British rule in India," which appeared in the Communist organ the "Workers' Weekly," on the 12th September, 1924 and whether he has instructed the Director of Public Prosecutions to institute proceedings against this journal?

Mr. DAVIES

The article referred to had not previously been brought to my notice, but I am making inquiries.

Sir C. YATE

Has the hon. Gentleman realised that British rule in India has nothing whatever to do with this case, and that the article in question is simply an incentive to people in this country?

Mr. DAVIES

I hope the hon. arid gallant Member will allow me to see the article in the first place.

Sir C. YATE

I will put down another question.
