4. Duchess of ATHOLLasked the Secretary of State for India whether the steps being taken to deal with the smuggling and possession of unlicensed arms in Bengal are being supported by effective steps to prevent this smuggling and possession of unlicensed arms in other parts of India?
§ The UNDER-SECRETARY of STATE for INDIA (Mr. Butler)I am satisfied that the authorities in India constantly bear in mind the need for countering this dangerous activity in every possible way. As long as any arms get into unauthorised hands, we are most anxious to improve our system, and we are in fact reviewing it with this object at the present time.
