§ 3. Mr. DALTONasked the, Under-Secretary of State for India the approximate cost, if any, of the sending of Indian troops to China, as far as the Indian revenues are concerned?
§ Earl WINTERTONI would refer to the answer I gave the hon. Member on the 21st February, and to that given by my right hon. Friend the Chancellor of the Exchequer to the hon. Member for Bow and Bromley (Mr. Lansbury) last Thursday.
§ Mr. DALTONMay we understand that no action will be taken by the Government under Section 22 of the Government of India Act to impose any charge on Indian revenue?
§ Earl WINTERTONI think the two replies I have quoted answer the question put by the hon. Gentleman.
§ 8. Lieut.-Commander KENWORTHYasked the Under-Secretary of State for India whether the opinion of the Indian Legislative Assembly was sought before Indian soldiers were sent to Shanghai; and, if so, with what result?
§ Earl WINTERTONThe answer to the first part is in the negative; the second, therefore, does not arise.
