HC Deb 27 June 1927 vol 208 c7
1. Sir ROBERT THOMAS

asked the Under-Secretary of State for India whether he has any statement to make regarding the unrest in the Khyber Pass district?

Earl WINTERTON

The only tribal unrest in the neighbourhood of the Khyber Pass calling for any special notice recently has been in the Mohmand country, where early in June a force of hostile Mohmands attacked clans friendly to Government and threatened an incursion into British India. The Government of India took defensive measures in the shape of bombing operations, which were entirely successful in dispersing the hostile tribesmen, and it was reported a day or two later that the situation was now practically normal. No importance other than local is attached to the disturbances.
