HC Deb 17 November 1942 vol 385 c220W
Mr. Amman

asked the Secretary of State for India whether he will accept the offer of Mr. Rajagopalachari to visit this country and invite him to London to discuss the present situation in India?

Mr. Amery

His Majesty's Government warmly welcome the endeavours of Mr. Rajagopalachari or of any other leaders of Indian opinion to promote an agreed settlement of the Indian problem; but any such agreement must come about in India between the Indian parties. His Majesty's Government, therefore, see no advantage in Mr. Rajagopalachari visiting this country. As the hon. Member will be aware, the Viceroy has seen Mr. Rajagopalachari during the last few days.
