HC Deb 09 August 1904 vol 139 c1560
MR. WEIR

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for India if he will state how many members of the Indian aristocracy are at present receiving military education in the Imperial Cadet Corps recently founded by the Viceroy; and how many commissions as British officers it is proposed to confer annually.

MR. BRODRICK

The number of members of the Indian aristocracy receiving military education in the Imperial Cadet Corps is, according to the latest information available, twenty-two. So far as I am at present aware, it is not proposed to confer any fixed number of commissions annually on members of the corps.

MR. MACVEAGH (Down, S.)

What is the definition of an Indian aristocrat?
