§ MR. CATHCART WASON (Orkney and Shetland)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Colonies if he will state by whom the suggestions for the reorganisation of the King's African Rifles were made; and whether the same involves an increase to the salary and travelling allowances of the Inspector-General.
§ MR. LYTTELTONThe reorganisation of the King's African Rifles was carried out on the recommendation of the Inspector-General of that force. The increase in the salary and travelling allowances of the Inspector-General, recently approved by the Lords Commissioners of the Treasury on the recommendation of the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, has no connection with the reorganisation scheme.
