§ Mr. LANSBURYasked the Under-Secretary of State for India whether. as the Government of India accepted the recommendations of the Repressive Laws Committee Report in 1921, he will say how far these recommendations have been given effect to and which recommendations have still to be implemented?
§ Earl WINTERTONAll the nine enactments or portions thereof, the immediate repeal of which the Committee recommended have been repealed except the State Prisoners Acts of 1850 and 1858. One other enactment and a portion of the Criminal Law Amendment Act, 1908, which the Commitee thought could not then be repealed remain on the Statute Book; and the amendment of Bengal Regulation III of 1818 and the corresponding Madras and Bombay Regulations of 1819 and 1827 which the Committee recommended has not yet been undertaken. The retention of these Regula- 1453W tions has necessitated the retention of the Acts of 1850 and 1858 just referred to.
