HC Deb 04 March 1931 vol 249 cc390-1
54. Sir A. KNOX

asked the Secretary of State for India whether any form of Government censorship exists in India on messages from India to England?

Mr. BENN

I would refer the hon. and gallant Member to the answer given to my hon. and gallant Friend the Member for Central Hull (Lieut.-Commander Kenworthy) on the 16th February.

Sir A. KNOX

Can the right hon. Gentleman say definitely that there was no manner of censorship exercised by any Government official in the late riots at Karachi?

Mr. BENN

It was for the purpose of making a definite statement that I referred the hon. and gallant Member to the answer which deals very fully with the points he now raises.
