§ Mr. SORENSENasked the Under-Secretary of State. for India why Mr. Subhas C. Bose had his passport seized at Port Said; why a policeman was detailed to mount guard over him whilst on board at that port; why the Austrian police, at the request, of the British authorities, closely watched him at Badgastein; and why this personal interference was employed in this; ecase 1?
§ Mr. BUTLERI hare no information as to the first two parts of the question, which relate to action stated to have been taken by the Egyptian authorities. With regard to the third part it was important that the British authorities should be informed of Mr. Bose's whereabouts, but 1113W I have no reason for thinking that the measures taken were more than was necessary for the purpose or that they amounted to personal interference.
