§ SIR H. SEYMOUR KING (Hull, Central)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for India whether those officers in the Indian Civil Service whose allowance for exchange compensation was stopped in 1894, and who, under the new rules, have been admitted to the allowance from the 1st April, 1897, are now permitted to draw arrears for the period from 1894 to 1897, during which it was stopped pending the decision of the Secretary of State?
§ THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR INDIAThis Question only appeared on the Paper to-day. I have telegraphed for information, but have not yet received a reply.
