I beg to ask the Secretary of State for India whether any action has been taken or is intended to be taken by the Government of India with regard to the alleged unprovoked assaults by the police on the delegates to the Bengal Provincial Conference at Barisal, and the dispersal of the conference by force during last Easter.

As those proceedings, are, I believe, now before the courts of law, I can hardly say anything as to any administrative action in the matter. Meanwhile, as my hon. friend is aware, all the circulars and proclamations are now withdrawn.
