asked the Secretary of State for India whether his attention has been drawn to the dismissal of 150 of the workers in the Royal Indian Marine Dockyard at Bombay following the one day strike of the workers in the dockyard on 7th February; if he is aware of the agitation on the part of the workers in the dockyard against this action and of the representations made to the authorities for the reinstatement of these men; and if any action has been taken following these representations?

I have received no official information on this matter.
