HC Deb 17 June 1915 vol 72 c793
70. Mr. STEWART

asked whether general officers commanding divisions or brigades in India brought home to serve are entitled to receive compensation for the loss of Indian pay and for the expenses incurred in breaking up their establishments at a few days' notice?

Mr. FORSTER

General officers of the British Service, whether in India or elsewhere, are liable to be called upon to take up duty in any part of the world without compensation. Those of the Indian Army who went to France in command of troops from India retained their Indian rates of pay.

Mr. STEWART

Will the hon. Gentleman look up the answer to the same question which was given on the 22nd April, and see whether it agrees with what he has now said?

Mr. FORSTER

I am afraid that I did not give the answer.
