§ 15. Mr. BRACKENasked the Secretary of State for India whether any of the persons released from prison, under the terms of the Gandhi-Irwin settlement, have since been rearrested; and, if so, will he state the number now in prison?
§ Mr. CHURCHILLWill the right hon. Gentleman make inquiries in order to get the information for which the hon. Member has asked?
§ Mr. BENNI think that such an inquiry would be an extremely laborious and difficult inquiry to make. It means searching into the cases of 16,000 or 17,000 individuals. If cases of the kind intimated by the hon. Member are brought to my notice, I shall certainly give the information if asked to do so.
§ Mr. BRACKENIs it not a matter of great importance that we should know?
