15. Colonel DAY

asked the Under-Secretary of State for India whether he has received any despatch or communica- tion from the Bengal Government with reference to the release of political prisoners?

Earl WINTERTON

I have received no communications beyond those which formed the basis of my reply to the hon. Member for Shoreditch on the 21st February to which I have nothing to add.

Colonel DAY

Is the Noble Lord aware that the Legislative Council have passed a Resolution urging the immediate release of these political persons?

Earl WINTERTON

Yes; I am fully aware of that. The facts have been reported in the Press.
