HC Deb 10 November 1930 vol 244 c1325W
Sir A. KNOX

asked the Secretary of State for India if his attention has been drawn to the closing of the Dhariwal woollen mills as a result of the Congress boycott, by which some 3,000 Indian families have been reduced to the verge of starvation; and what steps he proposes to take to enforce obedience to the law?

Mr. BENN

I have seen Press reports of this matter. As regards the second part of the question, I am satisfied that local governments in India are fully alive to their responsibility for the enforcement of the law.
