HC Deb 14 March 1927 vol 203 c1666W
Mr. LANSBURY

asked the Under-Secretary of State for India how long Mr. Subhas Chandra Bose, chief executive officer of the corporation of Calcutta, has been interned; whether any specific charge has ever been made against him; whether any written reply was made by Mr. Subhas Chandra Bose to such charge; and whether he can state the terms of the charge made against him?

Earl WINTERTON

Mr. Bose was arrested in October, 1924. The substance of the allegations against him was communicated to him and he was invited to answer. He refused to do so in writing or otherwise. I must decline to state the precise nature of the activities alleged against Mr. Bose, beyond saying that they amount to participation in a conspiracy for the commission of revolutionary crime.
