§ MR. BUCHANANI beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for War whether the British Government intends to pay the Indian Government a capitation grant for the two the regiments it is taking from India, similar to the capitation grant which it obtains from India on every British soldier borne on the Indian establishment.
MR. J. POWELL-WILLIAMS (for Mr. WYNDHAM)The Imperial Government defrays the actual charges for recruiting as claimed by the Indian Government in the case of these regiments instead of paying a capitation rate.
