Mr. A. T. DAVIESasked the Secretary of State for India whether the Reports of evidence taken by the committee of inquiry into the disturbances at Lahore and Amritsar in April last are substantially accurate; whether between 400 and 500 rioters were shot by General Dyer's orders; whether some 1,500 natives were wounded; and whether he is in a position to add to the information already published on the incident?
§ Mr. MONTAGUAs regards the first three parts of the question I would remind my hon. Friend that we have no report of the evidence in this country except abbreviated newspaper accounts; and I would refer him to the statements which I made on the subject in the House on Tuesday, of which I am sending him a copy.
