HC Deb 18 April 1921 vol 140 cc1551-2W
Major GLYN

asked the Secretary of State for India whether he has any information in regard to statements which have appeared in the Press reporting serious insubordination in a Sikh regiment at Amritsar, in consequence of- which the unit has been disbanded after 18 persons had been shot dead; and whether, if there is no truth in the statement, he will take steps to discover the source from which the report emanated?

Mr. MONTAGU

I have received a telegram from the Government of India, which states that there is not the slightest foundation of fact for the report to which my hon. and gallant Friend refers, and that no incident of this kind has occurred. As regards the last part of the question, the Government of India are already taking steps.
