HC Deb 07 May 1861 vol 162 c1650
MR. DANBY SEYMOUR

said, he would beg to ask the Secretary of State for India, Whether he can give any information with regard to the progress of Army Amalgamation in India?

SIR CHARLES WOOD

said, in reply to the question of his hon. Friend, that he had received a statement two days ago by the last mail from Lord Canning to the effect that the Government of India had agreed upon a General Order to carry the amalgamation into effect at the earliest opportunity. He had not received a copy of that Order, but he expected it by the next mail, and as soon as it was received it should be laid on the Table of the House.
