HC Deb 22 February 1932 vol 262 cc40-1W
Mr. D. DAVIES

asked the Secretary of State for India whether he is aware that women taking part in music processions which are prohibited by law or ordinances have been arrested; and what the alleged offence is in such cases?

Sir S. HOARE

A person taking part in a procession which had been prohibited would be liable to prosecution under Chapter VIII of the Indian Penal Code for taking part in an unlawful assembly.
