HC Deb 23 February 1886 vol 302 c1032
MR. JAMES MACLEAN

asked the Under Secretary of State for India, If the Committee on Indian Administration will be authorised to inquire into the expediency of abolishing all distinctions between covenanted and un-covenanted servants of the Crown in India, and establishing one Civil Service, with a uniform system of promotion and rates of pay?

THE UNDER SECRETARY (Sir UGHTRED KAY-SHUTTLEWORTH)

Due Notice will be given of the terms of reference to the Committee, and it would be premature to give answers upon particular points such as those raised in the Question.
