HC Deb 21 April 1893 vol 11 cc907-8
SIR G. CHESNEY (Oxford)

I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for India whether the expenditure to be incurred in bringing the detachment of native officers of the Indian Army to England, who are to take part in the procession on the opening of the Imperial Institute, is to be borne by Indian or Imperial Revenues, and what is the estimated amount of that expenditure?

*MR. GEORGE RUSSELL

The expenditure is limited to £2,500, and will be borne by Indian Revenues.

SIR G. CHESNEY

I beg to give notice that I shall take the earliest opportunity to call attention to this mode of appropriating the finances of India.
