HC Deb 17 November 1920 vol 134 c1899W
Major BARNES

asked the Secretary of State for India whether any Acts or Regulations are in force in India, or any part thereof, giving powers of search; and, if so, what are these Acts and Regulations, and what is their nature?

Mr. MONTAGU

Such powers exist under the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1898, the Excise Laws, and the Anarchical and Revolutionary Crimes Act, 1919. If the hon. Member wishes for a complete list, and for a summary of the several Acts, which are all published, I must ask for longer notice.
