HC Deb 13 February 1922 vol 150 cc642-3W
Sir C. YATE

asked the Secretary of State for India the result of his correspondence with the Government of India on the subject of their proposed Bill for the immediate repeal of existing legislation for the repression of rebellion?

Mr. MONTAGU

There is no intention of repealing those provisions of the Indian law which provide punishments for rebellion, but two Bills are about to be, or have already been, introduced into the Indian Legislature, for the repeal of some of the laws, which are commonly described as "repressive." As regards others, I am still in correspondence with the Government of India.
