§ MR. J. HOLMSasked the Secretary of State for War, If Her Majesty's Government had yet come to any decision regarding the arrangements by which adequate provision for the Military requirements of India may be combined with short service in the Army at home?
MR. GATHORNE HARDYSir, I mentioned last Session that I had addressed to the India Office the proposals which I thought calculated to remedy the evil they complained of, and those proposals, I understand, have been referred to the three Presidencies in India, and until they have reported on them I suppose I shall receive no answer on the snbject.
