HC Deb 21 April 1887 vol 313 cc1408-9
MR. KING (Hull, Central)

asked the Under Secretary of State for India, Whether a Despatch was received by the Secretary of State for India, in or about September last, on the subject of the grievances complained of by the Un-covenanted Service in India; and, whether it is true that the Government of India has made recommendations for changes in the condition of the Un-covenanted Service as to length of service for pensions, leave counting as service, a graduated scale of pensions, or any other matters; and, if so, whether he will lay the Despatch, and any Correspondence which has taken place on the subject, before the House?

THE UNDER SECRETARY OF STATE (Sir JOHN GORST) (Chatham)

The facts, as indicated in the Question, are correct; but as the Correspondence is not complete, no Papers can at present be laid on the Table.
