HC Deb 01 December 1920 vol 135 c1266W
Colonel YATE

asked the Secretary of State for India whether, considering that the official resolution of the Government of India expressing their reluctance to suppress crime is based on the grounds that they put their trust in the common sense of those who are not the criminals, he will state what steps have been taken by the Government of India to consult those to whom they credit common sense as to whether or not they approve of this attitude of prolonged quiescence?

Mr. MONTAGU

I do not accept as accurate my hon. and gallant Friend's description of the Resolution to which he refers, and therefore' am not in a position to deal with the assumption he bases on it.
