HC Deb 29 July 1931 vol 255 cc2284-5
66. Mr. BRACKEN

asked the Secretary of State for India what reasons Mr. Shyam Sundar Lal Dar, the deputy commissioner at Rae-Bareli, in the United Provinces, has relinquished that employment?

The SECRETARY of STATE for INDIA (Mr. Wedgwood Benn)

As I promised the right hon. Member for Chorley (Mr. Hacking), in reply to a similar question on the 16th July, I have sent an inquiry to the Government of India about this matter. As soon as I receive a reply I will communicate with the hon. Member.

Mr. BRACKEN

Can the right hon. Gentleman obtain an answer before the House adjourns, because the matter is of great public importance; can he not, by telegram, get the information before the House rises?

Mr. BENN

I do not think that in a matter of this detail which concerns a Provincial Government it is necessary to do more than I have done.
