HC Deb 16 August 1911 vol 29 c2070W
Mr. ERNEST JARDINE

asked the Under-Secretary of State for India whether the Lieutenant-Governor of Bengal has issued executive instructions to district magistrates as to the manner in which they are to exercise their legal powers for the suppression of sedition by directing that they should seek out the disaffected and argue with them instead of using their legal powers to suppress sedition; and, if so, whether such instructions will be withdrawn?

Mr. MONTAGU

The Secretary of State has no information.
