HC Deb 09 February 1897 vol 46 c6
SIR SEYMOUR KING (Hull, Central)

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for India whether he has been informed that more than 200 memorials from officers of the Indian Staff Corps have been forwarded in the regular way to the Commander-in-Chief in India, praying for a reopening and reconsideration of the question of supersession of Staff Corps Officers by juniors in the British Army in India; whether the Commander-in-Chief has forwarded their memorials to the Government of India; and, whether the Viceregal authorities have made any representations on the subject to the Secretary of State?

THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR INDIA (LORD GEORGE HAMILTON,) Middlesex, Ealing

I have no information as to the submission of any memorials by officers of the Indian Staff Corps regarding their supersession by officers of the British Army in India, nor have I received any representation on the subject from the Government of India.
