HC Deb 03 December 1942 vol 385 c1282
27. Mr. Sorensen

asked the Secretary of State for India the number of persons now detained for political offences and the total number of Indian and British casualties arising from disturbances during the past six months?

Mr. Amery

I am still awaiting information from the Government of India regarding the number of persons under detention. As regards casualties, I have at present nothing to add to the reply which I gave the hon. Member on 8th October.

Mr. Sorensen

Can the right hon. Gentleman say whether any reply which he expects from the Government of India will include information on all these events up to date, and can we expect that the report will be made public?

Mr. Amery

The Government of India obviously endeavour to keep these figures up to date, but it takes time to communicate them to us here.
