HC Deb 22 December 1932 vol 273 c1234
32. Mr. MORGAN JONES

asked the Secretary of State for India whether he can give the number of persons at present in prison in India in A, B and C classes, respectively?

The SECRETARY of STATE for INDIA (Sir Samuel Hoare)

I regret that the statistics supplied to me do not show the classification of prisoners, and I have no information later than that supplied to the hon. Member on 28th November in regard to civil disobedience prisoners.

Mr. BERNAYS

Cannot the right hon. Gentleman give an undertaking to the effect that if the civil disobedience movement is called off those political prisoners will be immediately released?
