§ 64. Sir A. KNOXasked the Secretary of State for India whether political prisoners in India are allowed to receive visitors other than their relations?
§ Sir S. HOAREVisits are not confined to those from relatives. Each application is carefully considered on its merits.
§ Sir A. KNOXIs it not rather inadvisable to allow interviews with Gandhi to be published in the Press?
§ Sir S. HOAREIt is the desire of the Government of India that no such interviews should be given or should be published.
§ Mr. KIRKWOODArising from the original reply, and following the statement made about troubles in India, I would like to ask the Secretary of State if he will not release those two Englishmen, Bradley and Spratt, who have been three and a-half years in gaol and have not been tried? [HON. MEMBERS: "Order!"] English liberty under the Union Jack. And you will not let me mention it. "Oh, liberty, what things are done in thy name!"
