§ SIR SEYMOUR KING () Hull, CentralTo ask the Secretary of State for India whether he has made inquiries and is now in a position to say whether Government servants who took privilege leave in order to join the Indian Volunteer Contingent which came home for the Coronation, have been informed that they will not receive any pay for the extra period of their detention at home in consequence of the King's illness; and, if so, on what ground this decision has been arrived at.
(Answered by Secretary Lord George, Hamilton.) An inquiry has been addressed to the Government of India respecting this matter, and I expect to receive their reply very shortly.
