HC Deb 23 June 1924 vol 175 c47W
Mr. MILLS

asked the Under-Secretary of State for India if he is aware that the Director-General of Posts and Telegraphs in India has refused permission to a postal official, named G. V. Bhave, to start a Marathi non-political monthly magazine for the purpose of supplying news about postal unions and providing matter calculated to increase the efficiency of workers in the Indian Post Office; if it is the policy of the Government of India not to continue the existing permission for the publication of journals conducted by their own subordinates; and whether he will take steps to ascertain the reason underlying the refusal of the Director-General in this case, with a view to redressing any grievance that has arisen?

Mr. RICHARDS

My Noble Friend will cause inquiry to be made into the circumstances of this case, as to which he has at present no information.
