COLONEL NORTHasked the President of the Board of Control whether all appointments in India for which the officers of the Indian army were eligible would be thrown open to those of Her Majesty's army?
MR. V. SMITHreplied that many of the appointments in question had already been opened to officers of the Queen's army, and other relaxations in the same direction were contemplated; but there were certain appointments which, owing to the character of the duties annexed to them, could not be filled with efficiency by other officers than those of the Indian army.
