HC Deb 14 July 1879 vol 248 c310
MR. C. BECKETT-DENISON

asked, Whether the troops had returned within the limits of India proper, and what arrangements had been made for guarding our newly-acquired territory?

MR. E. STANHOPE

I can only give the movements of the troops on the line of the Khyber Pass, and as regards those of particular regiments, I can give no more information than my hon. Friend will find in the newspapers. The garrisons to be maintained for the present on the Khyber line consist of two batteries of Royal Artillery, one regiment of British Infantry, one of Native Cavalry, four of Native Infantry, and one of Sappers and Miners. The remainder of the Force will return to their various stations in India.
