§ 67. Sir A. KNOXasked the Secretary of State for India whether he will publish the complete evidence of the inquiry into the Cawnpore riots; and at what date it will be in the hands of Members?
§ Mr. BENNI think that the full text of the report of the Commission of Inquiry, which I expect to receive during the week-end and will present as soon as possible, will be found to contain all the information required.
§ Sir A. KNOXDoes the right hon. Gentleman not think that the publication of the evidence in extenso would be a most valuable lesson to the people of this country and would show the difficulties in India? Would it not be worth while?
§ Mr. BENNI have not myself seen either the report or the evidence. I shall have the report with me over the weekend, and when I receive the evidence, as I shall do, I shall consider the hon. and gallant Gentleman's suggestion.
