HC Deb 07 July 1947 vol 439 c187W
5. Sir F. Sanderson

asked the Under-Secretary of State for India what steps are being taken to safeguard the position of our missionaries in India under Indian rule.

Mr. A. Henderson

I have no reason to suppose that the position of our missionaries, or indeed of missionaries of any nationality in India, will be in need of a safeguard other than the right to freedom of conscience and the right freely to profess, practice and propagate religion, which I anticipate will be readily accorded in the new Indian constitutions.
