HC Deb 23 March 1936 vol 310 cc890-1W
Mr. GRENFELL

asked the Under-Secretary of State for India what proportion of elected Members went into the Government Lobby on the division on the Criminal Law Amendment Bill; and whether it is proposed to certify the Bill?

Mr. BUTLER

I presume the hon. Member is referring to the Indian Criminal Law Amendment (Repeal) Bill introduced by Mr. B. Das, which was rejected by the Assembly on the 13th February. Twenty-seven elected Members voted against the Bill. The Bill was a private one and no question of certification arises.
