He stayed there for a few days in 1931 while he met cotton mill workers in Lancashire. He was in England in 1931 for a round table conference between India and the British government where representatives from India including Gandhi proposed plans for India to be independent. The British government would not agree to the proposals. It was not till 1947 that India became independent.
