§ Mr. S. O. Daviesasked the Under-secretary of State for India if he will inquire into the state of health of Dr. Ram Mandhar Lohia, detained in the Agra central gaol, and into the conditions existing in the Lahore fort where he was detained; and if he will order the release of Dr. Lohia in view of the fact that he has no charges made against him that would warrant his trial in open court.
§ Mr. A. HendersonThe Government of India recently received a medical report that Dr. Lohia has been practically cured of the skin disease from which he has been suffering and has gained weight. The Lahore Fort is under the control of the Government of the Punjab which has informed the Government of India that the allegations made by Dr. Lohia in respect of the conditions of his detention there are unfounded. The question of his prosecution is under consideration.
