HC Deb 02 July 1880 vol 253 c1398
MR. WARTON

asked the Secretary of State for India, Whether it is a fact that several young civilians from India have been placed in the British Burmah Commission over the heads of Military Officers who have served in that Commission for many years, and who had relinquished their position in the Army on the faith of promises of assured promotion in the said Commission?

THE MARQUESS OF HARTINGTON

No, Sir; I have no knowledge of the circumstance referred to by the hon. Member, and I do not find that any representation has been made on the subject to the India Office.
