HC Deb 11 November 1929 vol 231 c1543W
Major POLE

asked the Secretary of State for India if he will state the number of political prisoners in India either in gaol or under trial?

Mr. BENN

If my hon. and gallant Friend desires I will make inquiries as to the number of persons convicted under any specified section of the Codes, but it is impossible to reply to his question in the form in which it is drafted.
