asked. the Under-Secretary of State for India under what conditions was Mr. Subhas Chandra Bose, a detenu in Bengal, permitted to leave India; and how has he been permitted to visit Ireland?

The UNDER-SECRETARY of STATE for INDIA (Mr. Butler)

As my hon. Friend will be aware, Mr. Bose was permitted to leave India in order to receive particular medical treatment. The territorial validity of his passport was framed accordingly. The question of his admission to the Irish Free State is one for the Free State authorities.

Mr. THURTLE

Does the hon. Member think that any harm will come from Mr. Bose's visit to Ireland?

Major-General Sir ALFRED KNOX

Can the Under-Secretary say whether he obtained medical treatment in Dublin?

Mr. BUTLER

I am not aware of what he did in Dublin?
