Mr. Jawarharlal Nehru (Hansard, 6 May 1943)

§ 30. Mr. Sorensen
asked the Secretary of State for India whether Mr. Jawarharlal Nehru is under detention in India or has been transferred to another area; whether he is completely isolated from other Congress leaders; and whether communications can be sent to and received by him?

§ The Secretary of State for India (Mr. Amery)
Mr. Nehru is under detention in India and is in the company of other members of the Congress Working Committee. He is permitted to correspond with members of his family on domestic matters.

Could Members of this House also communicate with him?

On domestic matters and if they are members of the family.

May I ask whether Members of this House might please communicate with him on other matters, provided they supplied the right hon. Gentleman with a copy of the letter?

That is a matter for the Government of India.
