HC Deb 26 March 1928 vol 215 c790
2. Mr. WELLOCK

asked the Under-Secretary of State for India the most recent estimate of the number of untouchables in British India?

Earl WINTERTON

For the reason given in my answer to a somewhat similar inquiry by the hon. and gallant Member for Enfield (Colonel Applin) on 21st December, 1925 (of which I will send the hon. Gentleman a copy) I should hesitate to suggest an exact estimate. But I am asking the Government of India for their latest information, and perhaps the hon. Member would repeat his question after a reasonable interval.
