HC Deb 02 March 1931 vol 249 c5
11. Mr. BRACKEN

asked the Secretary of State for India the number of men who served in the Indian forces during the Great War who are now imprisoned in India for political offences?

Mr. BENN

I can add nothing to the answer given to the hon. and gallant Member for South Derby (Major Pole) on the 6th February.

Mr. BRACKEN

The right hon. Gentleman himself stated that there were thousands of Indian ex-soldiers in prison in India. May I ask him where he got his information?

Mr. BENN

If the hon. Member will be good enough to road the answer to which I have referred, he will see that I took special occasion for correcting what was a mishearing in the Gallery.

Forward to
