8. Duchess of ATHOLL

asked the Secretary of State for India whether he will give details of the riot at Karachi, due to the death sentence passed on a Moslem for murdering in open court a man who had written offensively about the prophet Mohammed?

Mr. BUTLER

I am not in possession of any information about this demonstration beyond what has appeared in the Press.

Duchess of ATHOLL

Will the hon. Member take steps to inform himself about this flagrant breach of the law?

Mr. BUTLER

I am quite ready to ask for further information on this matter,
