HC Deb 21 July 1930 vol 241 c1720
7. Mr. WELLOCK

asked the Secretary of State for India whether the Government are taking steps to bring the civil disobedience movement to an end by means of an agreement which will include a general amnesty to all political prisoners not guilty of violent crimes?

Mr. BENN

I have indicated in answer to previous questions the difficulty in the way of my hon. Friend's suggestion. He has no doubt read the letters exchanged between the Viceroy and Sir Tej Bahadur Sapru and Mr. Jayakar in connection with their visit to the Congress Leaders.

Mr. MARDY JONES

Has the right hon. Gentleman received any further information as to the result?

Mr. BENN

No, not yet.
