HC Deb 14 April 1930 vol 237 cc2607-8
5. Mr. FREEMAN

asked the Secretary of State for India whether he has been advised of the request of the Bengal National Chamber of Commerce to bring the tobacco industry in India under State control; and what action he proposes to take in the matter?

Mr. BENN

I have no information on the subject except what has appeared in the Press. I have no doubt that if any practical proposals are put forward they will be duly considered by the Government of India.
