HC Deb 09 May 1927 vol 206 c2
2. Mr. LANSBURY

asked the Under-Secretary of State for India whether he has now received the Divisional Commissioner's Report, with the Local Governor's conclusions, relative to the disturbances and consequent deaths which recently took place at Kalakati, Bengal; and does he propose to lay this upon the Table of the House?

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

My Noble Friend has received a Report by the Divisional Commissioner with the Bengal Government's conclusions upon it, but the Report is incomplete in certain respects. He is consulting the Government of India as to publication of the Report when it has been completed.

Mr. LANSBURY

When does the Noble Lord think it will be convenient to announce the publication?

Earl WINTERTON

I am afraid I cannot answer offhand. Consultation is now going on. Perhaps the hon. Member will put down a question in a fortnight's time.
