HC Deb 23 November 1925 vol 188 cc890-1
18. Mr. THURTLE

asked the Undersecretary of State for India whether he can state the reason why Mr. S. C. Bose, who is at present under detention at Mandalay as a political prisoner, is not allowed to receive copies of the Calcutta newspaper, "Forward"?

Earl WINTERTON

Mr. Bose already receives two newspapers, the maximum number permitted under the Regulations. My Noble Friend proposes to consult the Government of Bengal as to the possibility of substituting "Forward" for one of these.

Major Sir RICHARD BARNETT

May I ask whether there will be any objection to Mr. Bose having warm slippers and a hot-water bag?
