§ 4. Mr. KELLYasked the Under-Secretary of State for India whether he is aware that Mr. V. S. Subramaniya Iyer was at the Mandapam health resort refused permission by the station master to occupy part of one of the two bungalaws at that place, in spite of the fact that advertisements were displayed asking the public to travel to that health centre at cheap return rates; that Mr. Iyer was informed that the bungalows were meant only for Europeans and Americans and were not available for Indians; and whether any steps are being taken, or are contemplated, to deal with this racial discrimination?
§ Earl WINTERTONI have no information as to the occurrence of any such incident.
§ Earl WINTERTONNo, Sir; it is not a matter for the Secretary of State, but is purely a matter, if it occurs, for the local authorities.
