§ SIR BEVAN EDWARDS (Hythe)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for India whether it has been brought to his notice that the Indian Government has refused to employ several lieutenant-colonels of the Royal Engineers who have lately been sent to India by the War Office; and, can he state what steps he proposes to take to ensure that these officers shall be employed?
§ LORD GEORGE HAMILTONDifficulties have arisen in finding suitable employment in India for the senior officers of the Royal Engineers whom the Indian Government, in accordance with their agreement with the War Office, retain upon the Indian Establishments. This question which presses for settlement is now under consideration.
