§ MR. LAMBERT (Devonshire, South Molton)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for India whether the Indian Government have expressed any opinion on the charge of £786,000 a year proposed by the Army scheme of this year 933 to be added to the financial responsibilities of India; if so, will he state its purport.
§ LORD G. HAMILTONI have heard from the Government of India, and am in communication with the War Office on the subject to which the hon. Member's Question refers. The Government of India urged certain objections against the financial effect of the War Office proposals.
§ MR. LAMBERTWhen will the noble Lord be able to inform the House of the nature of these objections?
§ LORD G. HAMILTONI am still in correspondence with the Secretary of State for War on the matter, and am unable to make a statement until that correspondence is completed.
