HC Deb 24 February 1930 vol 235 c1838
7. Mr. WARDLAW-MILNE

asked the Secretary of State for India how many resignations of Congress members there have been in the central and provincial legislatures; and how this number com pares with the total previously holding seats?

Mr. BENN

One further resignation in Madras must be added to the list printed in the OFFICIAL REPORT on 3rd February.

Mr. WARDLAW-MILNE

Can the right Hon. Gentleman say if any Congress candidates are standing for any of these vacancies?

Mr. BENN

I have seen in the newspapers that that is so, but, if my hon. Friend will put down a question, I will give him full particulars.
