HC Deb 28 July 1930 vol 242 cc11-2
16. Mr. WELLOCK

asked the Secretary of State for India on what ground Mr. Keithahn, an American missionary, was on or about 23rd June ordered to leave Madura by the Madras Government?

Mr. BENN

No, Sir, but I have asked for information.

Mr. WELLOCK

Is my right hon. Friend aware that Mr. Keithahn does not take any interest in politics, and that, although he is an admirer of Gandhi, his only offence has been to give shelter for one night to an Englishman; and is my right hon. Friend also aware that the missionary societies are very much concerned about this matter?

Mr. BENN

At my hon. Friend's suggestion I am making inquiries as to the facts.
