HC Deb 28 December 1919 vol 123 c1280W
Sir F. HALL

asked the Secretary of State for India if anything has since occurred which makes it necessary for him to modify his recent statement that he knew no details of the circumstances connected with the rioting at Amritsar early this year until he saw the newspaper account of the occurrences; and if he will circulate. For the information of this House, the original dispatches, which he received from India, on the subject?

Mr. MONTAGU

Nothing has occurred to make it necessary for me to modify the statement referred to. The contents of the telegrams which I received from India were published in full, with only two exceptions. In neither of these cases was any important fact omitted.
