Bereik en inhoud
Has refused to consider action on the Punjab inquiry till the report has been received, but has been told that Chelmsford is already quartering punitive police on the places concerned. Suggests that such action should be delayed till the inquiry is complete. Kitchin has suggested that the amnesty might include some alleviation of the financial burden that will fall on these places in respect of either punitive police or compensation. Asks what more has been done for the relatives and dependents of the rioters who were killed.
