HC Deb 22 November 1937 vol 329 cc827-8
5. Mr. Thurtle

asked the Under-Secretary of State for India whether he can give an assurance that the Government of India will place no obstacle in the way of Mr. Subhas Chandra Bose visiting this country on his forthcoming visit to Europe?

Lord Stanley

I understand that Mr. Bose has already left India, and I am not aware that the Government of India have raised any difficulties about his coming to this country.

Mr. Thurtle

Is the hon. Gentleman aware that difficulties were raised by the Government of this country to his visiting this country when he was last in Europe, and will he give assurances that no such difficulties will be raised on this occasion?

Lord Stanley

It will be better to meet those difficulties if and when they arise.
