HC Deb 14 April 1930 vol 237 cc2606-7
3. Mr. WARDLAW-MILNE

asked the Secretary of State for India what are the reasons for the congestion of work in the Bombay High Court, resulting in suits instituted in 1925 still awaiting hearing; and what steps are being taken to remedy this state of affairs?

Mr. BENN

The whole question of congestion in the Bombay High Court and other connected matters is engaging the active consideration of the Government of Bombay, and until I have received their report I shall not be in a position to make a statement.

Mr. WARDLAW-MILNE

Will the right hon. Gentleman consider the desirability of setting up a Commission to go into the whole matter, because the delay is very prolonged?

Mr. BENN

The delay is prolonged, and I will see that the suggestion of the hon. Gentleman is brought to the notice of the Government of Bombay.
