HC Deb 15 June 1925 vol 185 cc1-2
3. Colonel DAY

asked the Under-Secretary of State for India whether his attention has been drawn to a case in which the sentence of death was passed on three persons and transportation on four others on conviction of murder, and also of wounding Mumtaz Begum; and whether all those implicated in this case have been brought to trial?

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

I would refer the hon. and gallant Member to the reply which I gave to the hon. and gallant Member for Central Hull (Lieut.-Commander Kenworthy) on 11th June.

Colonel DAY

Will those who inspired the outrages be brought to justice, irrespective of their position?

Earl WINTERTON

The hon. Member is really repeating his question. I will read the answer which, as stated, I gave to the hon. and gallant Member for Central Hull (Lieut.-Commander Ken-worthy). I said that I had received reports, and that if any further inquiries be considered necessary, these will in due course be made.
