HC Deb 07 March 1932 vol 262 cc1490-1W
Mr. PARKINSON

asked the Secretary of State for India what arrangements are made by the authorities to give first-aid and medical attention to those injured by lathi charges or rifle fire?

Sir S. HOARE

The reports received by me show that the senior officers present are always careful to ensure that injured persons receive attention, and, when necessary, are conveyed to the nearest hospital or dispensary at the first opportunity.

Mr. PARKINSON

asked the Secretary of State for India whether it is by order of the Government of India that a hospital in Medura, where persons injured by lathi charges were given first-aid and medical attention, has been closed down?

Sir S. HOARE

I have no information on the matter.
