§ 2. Major POLEasked the Secretary of State for India whether, in view of the feeling concerning the question in India, he will consider the advisability of reversing the policy followed by the late Government in withholding from publication the report of the sub-committee of the Indian Sandhurst Committee?
§ Mr. BENNSir Andrew Skeen's Committee had this report before them and founded many of their conclusions on it, where necessary quoting it in extenso. My difficulty in consenting to publication is that it was understood by the witnesses that they were expressing personal and to some extent confidential views.
§ Major-General Sir ALFRED KNOXIs there any evidence that as many as one in ten thousand of the population in India has ever heard of this report?
§ Mr. BENNThe report and the inquiry are both very important matters, and I cannot see any reason why the hon. and gallant Gentleman should show contempt of them.
§ Sir A. KNOXBut has one in ten thousand ever heard of it?
