HC Deb 09 May 1895 vol 33 c814
MR. HENNIKER HEATON

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for India whether he is aware that much discontent exists among the officers of the Indian Army owing to their frequent super session by officers of several years' shorter service from the British Army, and the consequent ruin of their professional prospects?

MR. HENRY FOWLER

I am not aware that the officers of the Indian Army are superseded by officers of several years' shorter service from the British Army. With respect to the rules of promotion in the Indian Staff Corps, I, on the 2nd of this month, replied to a question by the hon. Member for Hull.
