88. Mr. STANLEY WILSONasked when the scheme for increasing the pensions of honorary commissioned officers of the Indian Army departments which has been approved by the Government of India will receive the sanction of the Secretary of State for India?
§ Mr. C. ROBERTSThe scheme has been referred by the Secretary of State to the Government of India for re-examination and is still under their consideration.
Mr. STANLEY WILSONIs the hon. Gentleman aware that I asked a similar question a year ago and that a more or less similar sort of answer was given? How long is it likely to be before the details of the scheme are satisfactorily settled?
§ Mr. C. ROBERTSI am aware of the hon. Member's question. Since then the subject has been examined and has been referred to the Government of India.
