§ Mr. P. OLIVERasked the Home Secretary whether he is aware that letters addressed to Mrs. Mary Knight, of Manchester, the mother of Hugh Hutchison, one of the defendants in the Meerut trial, have been opened in the course of transit through the post; and on what grounds such action has been taken?
§ Mr. SHORTMy right hon. Friend knows nothing of any such action or of any ground for the suggestion, and the second part of the question therefore does not arise.
