§ SIR ROPER LETHBRIDGE (Kensington, N.)asked the Under Secretary of State for India whether there is any record at the India Office of the pension of an Indian Uncovenanted Officer being paid at a rate higher than 2s. to the rupee during those years when the ex- 1087 change value of the rupee was above par.
§ THE UNDER SECRETARY OF STATE FOR INDIA (Sir J. GORST,) ChathamNo; for since such pensions have been payable in England, the rupee has never been above par.
§ SIR R. LETHBRIDGEIn consequence of the reply of the hon. Gentleman, which is contrary to the information at my disposal, I beg to give notice that I shall draw attention to this question on an early day.
