§ 8. Colonel YATEasked the Secretary of State for India if he can say what are the rules as regards pay and allowances under which the services of members of the Indian Civil Service are placed at the disposal of the War Office; whether these rules differ in any way from the rules under which the services of members of the Home and Colonial Civil Services are placed at the disposal of the War Office; and, if so, what is the difference.
§ Mr. MONTAGUI would refer my hon. Friend to the answer given by the Chancellor of the Exchequer on the 21st November last to the hon. Member for Oxford, of which I am sending him a copy, and in which the difference between the arrangements for the Homo and Indian Civil Services were stated. I understand that for Colonial Civil servants the same arrangements have been adopted as for Home Civil servants.
