§ MR. BAXTERasked the Under Secretary of State for India, If, in future, Indian Military Officers are to be allowed to take their general leave in England on the same terms as it can now be obtained in India, and, consequently, if the 1875 Rule, which provides that the furlough must be spent at some place east of the 40th degree of east longitude, is to be abolished?
§ MR. J. K. CROSSSir, if my right hon. Friend refers to the local leave which, to the extent of six months in each year, may be granted at the discretion of the Indian authorities, to officers of the Indian Army who are subject to the Furlough Rules of 1875, I can only say that there is no intention of altering the limits within which this leave may be taken.
