§ SIR H. HAVELOCK-ALLAN (Durham, S.E.)I had given notice of my 110 intention to ask the Under Secretary of State for India whether the Secretary of State for India has had under his consideration the advisability of taking some steps to accelerate the present slow rate of promotion of officers of the Indian Staff Corps; if not, whether he will give early consideration to the subject; and whether he is in a position to make any communication to the House as to the views of the Government of India on this matter? As I do not see the right hon. Gentleman the Under Secretary in his place, may I ask whether any other Member of the Government is prepared to answer the question?
§ There was no response.
§ SIR H. HAVELOCK-ALLANThen, as there is no Minister present who is instructed to answer the question, I will defer it until to-morrow.
