 About the return of evacuees, Mr. Jessel said that the Pakistan Government was disappointed with too small a number of refugees returning to the reception centers in East Bengal. He said that the Pakistan Government was expecting about 500 evacuees to return to the newly set up Chuadanga reception centre every day, but they saw only 200 refugees, including two Hindus, there.

 Replying to a reporter, Mr. Ramsden said that “parts of Dacca appeared to be normal but it could not be said there was normalcy there”. Rail and steamer services in the country, he said, operated in limited arcas.

 Replying to a question whether he had seen any sign of persecution in East Bengal, Mr. Bottomley said; “I would not like to use the word ‘persecution’. The fact is that it happened and it must be stopped. We saw people with hands chopped off, with bullet wounds and still suffering.”

 The M.P.s will submit their reports to their respective party leaders on their return to England.
