HC Deb 27 June 1918 vol 107 c1246W
Mr. RAMSAY MACDONALD

asked the Secretary of State for India whether he has received any further information of the state of affairs in the Kaira district; and whether he proposes to call for a complete Report and keep himself in close touch with events as they transpire?

Mr. MONTAGU

The latest information I have is given in a Press note issued by the Bombay Government at the end of April, containing a detailed narrative of the proceedings up to date. I shall be happy to send my hon. Friend a copy of it. The matter is one which was left to the local government, in whose competence it obviously was, and I gather that it is now practically closed. If there is any particular point on which my hon. Friend desires information I will be glad if he will let me know; but it is hardly a subject which can usefully be discussed or judged here.
