§ COLONEL BARTTELOTasked the Under Secretary of State for India, Whether any protest has been made to the Government by the Governor General, or by the Commander in Chief in India, against the reduction of the force of Field Artillery in that Country, which will be made by the proposed transfer of five Batteries of Horse Artillery from the Indian to the Imperial Establishment at home; and, if so, whether he will lay upon the Table of the House Copies of the Letters or Telegrams he has received?
MR. GRANT DUFFThe only reply that I am in a position to give at present to my hon. and gallant Friend's Question is that, when the correspondence between the Home Government and the Government of India about the proposal of the Government of India with reference to the reduction of the artillery force in that country is completed, there will be no objection to lay it on the Table if my hon. and gallant Friend wishes to move for it.
