§ 4. Mr. MAXTONasked the Secretary of State for India the names of the 17 men of the 2nd Battalion of the Royal 1363 Garhwali Rifles sentenced to various terms of imprisonment in connection with the disturbances at Peshawar on 23rd April, 1930, as the result of a court-martial at Abbottabad in June, 1930; will he state the individual sentences inflicted on each man; the place of their detention; their present condition of health; whether any of these prisoners have been released, and, if so, which; and whether he will consider the release of any who may be still serving their sentences?
§ Sir S. HOAREI am circulating the names of the men and their individual sentences. I have no information regarding the third and fourth parts of the question. Under the normal practice by which His Excellency the Commander-in-Chief reviews periodically the sentences of all persons convicted by courts-martial, eight of the men had been released by the end of 1932, and more may have been released since that date; I do not propose to interfere with the discretion of the Commander-in-Chief in the matter.
