HC Deb 25 March 1886 vol 303 c1798
MR. BUCHANAN (Edinburgh, W.)

asked the Under Secretary of State for India, Whether the military command in Lower Burma is under the Madras command, and that in Upper Burma under the Commander-in-Chief; and, if so, when it is proposed to put an end to this divided control?

THE UNDER SECRETARY OF STATE (Sir UGHTRED KAY-SHUTTLEWORTH) (Lancashire, Clitheroe)

The military command in Lower Burmah is certainly under Madras, and the Viceroy is in communication with the Secretary of State in Council as to placing the whole of Burmah under the Commander-in-Chief in India.
