HC Deb 13 February 1922 vol 150 cc643-4W
Mr. MORGAN JONES

asked the Secretary of State for India whether the full text of the verdict of the court of inquiry which investigated the circumstances attending the death at Shoranor Station, India, of a large number of prisoners apprehended in connection with the Moplah rebellion will be printed and circulated among Members of this House, together with the evidence upon which this verdict was arrived at; and whether the persons responsible have been brought before any court. for trial?

Mr. MONTAGU

Up to now, I have received only a telegraphic report of the findings of this Committee. This was published a few days ago. I have not received either the full proceedings or the orders passed in the matter by the Government of Madras, which will, no doubt, cover the question of prosecutions. I desire, of course, to give the fullest information to the House, but until I have myself received the actual Report, I cannot say what documents will be available.
