HC Deb 28 January 1929 vol 224 c573
3. Mr. WARDLAW-MILNE

asked the Under-Secretary of State for India whether, in view of the extremist political propaganda now being carried on in certain universities and colleges in India, the Government of India are taking any steps to prevent the delivery of addresses likely to incite Indian students?

Earl WINTERTON

My noble Friend has received no information as to any systematic attempts to incite students to lawlessness, and is confident that, if anything of the kind is attempted, the Provincial Governments will take any steps that are desirable and practicable.

Mr. WARDLAW-MILNE

Has it been brought to the notice of the India Office that lectures of the kind described in the question are being given?

Earl WINTERTON

As the hon. Member knows, education is a transferred subject. He may rest assured that this question will be dealt with by the proper authorities.
