HC Deb 12 July 1922 vol 156 cc1227-8
63. Sir C. YATE

asked the Under-Secretary of State for India whether in the reconstitution of the Indian Army Reserve of Officers those officers who have already done 10 or more years' service therein, and who are not desirous of resigning their commissions, will be allowed to serve on; and, if not, will he consider the question of some special concession, such as the grant of an honorary step in rank on retirement, and of a reserve long-service decoration to those pre-War service officers whose services are now to be dispensed with?

Earl WINTERTON

The question of the Indian Army Reserve is still under consideration. I will bring the suggestion of my hon. and gallant Friend to the notice of the Government of India.
