§ 2. Commander WEDGWOODasked the Secretary of State for India whether and, if so, when he proposes to introduce compulsory service in the Army for white British subjects of military age in India and Burma; and, if not, how otherwise does he hope to get officers for Indian regiments?
§ Mr. CHAMBERLAINI would refer to the replies given to my hon. and gallant Friend the Member for the Melton Division on the 9th instant, and to my hon. and gallant Friend himself on the 15th instant.
§ Commander WEDGWOODIs the right hon. Gentleman aware that the question of officers for the Indian Army is of enormous importance at the present time, and that there is a difficulty in obtaining these officers?
§ Mr. CHAMBERLAINI am quite aware of the enormous importance of the question of officers, and that was kept in mind in the two answers to which I have re-ferred.
