32. Sir CHARLES OMAN

asked the Secretary of State for India whether he will take into consideration the relieving of the congestion of the Indian gaols by political prisoners by the method of deporting such persons to localities outside India, such as the Andamans?

The SECRETARY of STATE for INDIA (Sir Samuel Hoare)

The question of transporting certain classes of prisoners to the Andamans is under consideration.

Mr. LEONARD

Will the right hon. Gentleman consider the advisability of taking guidance as to the results of all such repressive measures from a professor of history?
