HC Deb 30 May 1905 vol 147 c231
* SIR H. MEYSEY-THOMPSON (Staffordshire, Handsworth)

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for India whether anything, and, if so, what, has been done to assist the Gurkha officers in rebuilding their private houses, and also their mess room, which were destroyed by the earthquake at Dharmsala.

THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR INDIA (Mr. BRODHICK,) Surrey, Guildford

I am at present not in a position to reply to this Question. As I stated in this House on the 23rd inst.,† the Commander-in-Chief in India has submitted certain proposals to the Government of India for concessions, the nature of which has not yet been, reported to me. Any proposals which the Government of India think well to forward will be most favourably considered.
