HC Deb 23 September 1943 vol 392 c455W
Mr. Mack

asked the Secretary of State for India how many persons have been executed in India since August, 1942, as a result of charges in connection with the political conflict; and how many of these were actually concerned in murder, in treasonable activity, in consort with the enemy and in offences of lesser magnitude, respectively?

Mr. Amery

Up till the end of June the total number of death sentences imposed in connection with the disturbances of last autumn was 73, of which 39 were confirmed. I regret that I have not the detailed information required in the latter part of the Question.
