EXAMINATION OF CHARGES.
COMMITTEE OF PRIVILEGES. (British Official Wireless.) RUGBY, April 17. The Committee of Privileges which, on the motion of Mr Winston Churchill, has been summoned to examine charges that attempts were made to tamper with the evidence tendered by the Manchester Chamber of Commerce to the Joint Select Committee on Indian Reform, will meet on Thursday morning. It'is not an ad hoc body appointed to consider a specific complaint, but is a committee consisting of ten members elected by the House of Commons at the beginning of each session and representing all parties. The committee settles its own procedure, and has power to summon any witnesses it desires and to send for papers. It is assumed that the principal witnesses will be Sir Samuel Hoare, Secretary for India, Mr Winston Churchill, and Mr S. S. Hammersley, a Lancashire member of Parliament.
It is understood that meetings of the Joint Select Committee on Indian Reform will not be delayed by the proceedings before the Committee of Privileges.
