HC Deb 29 June 1936 vol 314 cc3-4
6 and 8. Mr. JAGGER

asked the Under-Secretary of State for India (1) on what grounds orders under Section 144 of the Indian Penal Code have been issued by the Government of the United Provinces or its officials prohibiting meetings of strikers at a certain cotton mill in Luck-now;

(2) whether he is aware that notices have been issued by the Government of the United Provinces prohibiting officers of the Lucknow Textile Workers' Union from going within half-a-mile of the R. G. Mills where members of the trade union went on strike on the 17th May last; and, if so, what action he proposed to take to restore freedom of movement to these trade union officials when going about their ordinary and legitimate business?

Mr. BUTLER

I am asking for a report on the matters raised.
