§ MR. LAMBERTI beg to ask the Secretary of State for India whether he will state when he will be in a position to publish the objections of the Government of India on the extra cost of £786,000 a year on the revenues of India by this year's Army scheme, and the decision that has been arrived at concerning them.
§ LORD G. HAMILTONMy correspondence with the Secretary of State for War on this subject is not concluded, and I am unable to state when I shall be in a position to publish the objections of the Government of India. I may add that we have agreed to pay the extra 2d. a day, but have urged objections against the incidence of cost of the extra 6d. a day, which will not be payable before April, 1904.
