HC Deb 07 June 1921 vol 142 c1698W
Mr. SPOOR

asked the Secretary of State for India how many Indians are at the present time confined for political offences in the penal settlement in the Andamans; and how many are confined in other penal establishments in India?

Mr. MONTAGU

I understand that there are 47 in the Andamans; and in February the Government of India stated that there were 101 altogether. There are presumably 54 in gaols in India.
