§ SIR CAMERON GULL (Devonshire, Barnstaple)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for India whether under existing regulations an Indian departmental warrant officer being invalided to England during the summer months (non-trooping season) would be compelled either to pay for passages for his family to England or leave them in India, his furlough pay being only £6 or £6 10s. a month; and whether it is proposed to take any action to remove the grievances of Indian warrant officers as regards furlough pay and passages.
§ THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR INDIA (Lord G. HAMILTON,) Middlesex, EalingMy hon. friend has quoted the regulations correctly. I do not think I should be justified in incurring the expenditure which would be entailed by granting passage to families when troopers are not running.
