HC Deb 14 December 1944 vol 406 c1323
14. Mr. Ivor Thomas

asked the Secretary of State for India whether he has considered a letter from the Keighley Rotary Club suggesting that the publication of the names of Sir Tej Sapru's Conciliation Board Committee provides a suitable opportunity for the release of the Congress Party leaders; and what reply he has given.

Mr. Amery

I have noted and acknowledged the Keighley Rotary Club's suggestion. As regards the release of the Congress Party leaders I have nothing to add to the reply which I made on 5th October to the question of the hon. Member for West Leyton (Mr. Sorensen).

Mr. Thomas

Is the right hon. Gentleman aware that this negative attitude will get us nowhere?
