HC Deb 31 August 1926 vol 199 cc151-2W
Viscount SANDON

asked the Under-Secretary of State for India whether any steps will be taken to prevent a repeti- tion by any Government in India of the occurrence whereby the Pandit Madan Mohan and Dr. Moonje were allowed to defy the special decree of the Bengal Government as to their entry into Bengal?

Earl WINTERTON

The actions of Governments must be largely determined by the circumstances of the moment, and history does not repeat itself. I have no doubt that any lessons which the incident referred to may be thought to have inculcated will be duly considered and, if necessary, applied.
