§ SIR CARNE RASCH (Essex, Chelmsford)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War whether he is aware that Major Nason, Essex Regiment, has been detained at Wellington, Madras, although compulsorily retired by age on March 8th; and whether, seeing that he has offered to make himself liable for all accounts during the time he was in command, he will explain why, under these circumstances, he is not allowed to come home.
§ MR. ARNOLD-FORSTERI am not acquainted with the circumstances alluded to. This matter is one which concerns the Indian Government, and the Question should be addressed to my right hon. friend, who, I understand, is making inquiries.
