HC Deb 25 March 1902 vol 105 cc985-6
MR. CAINE

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for India whether any account has been taken in the Indian Budget for 1902–3 of the sum of £786,000 required for the extra pay of the European forces of the Indian Army.

LORD G. HAMILTON

The hon. Member is mistaken when he implies that the sum of £786,000 is required for the additional pay of the European force in India in 1902–3. The sum required under the new scheme for the year in question is, as was stated in this House by my right hon. friend, £226,000; and for this provision has been made in the Indian Bunget.
