HC Deb 16 March 1936 vol 310 cc4-5
9. Mr. D. GRENFELL

asked the Under-Secretary of State for India how many of the men accused in the late Meerut conspiracy case have recently been arrested; and on what charge and upon whose information?

Mr. BUTLER

I have no information as to the recent arrest of any of those accused in the Meerut conspiracy case.

Mr. GRENFELL

Is it not the case that some of the men who were discharged after the Meerut trial have recently been arrested?

Mr. BUTLER

It depends upon what the hon. Member regards as recently. If he desires it, I will give him information as to recent arrests.

Mr. GRENFELL

I meant subsequent to the release of persons who had been serving their sentences.

Mr. BUTLER

In that case I will endeavour to get the information desired by the hon. Member.
