HC Deb 30 October 1918 vol 110 c1432
6. Colonel WEDGWOOD

asked the Secretary of State for India whether tolerated brothels for the British Army still continue in India and Burma; and, if so, whether the practice will be summarily stopped?

Mr. MONTAGU

The law applying to military cantonments in India does not admit of "tolerated brothels." There is no kind of official control or protection over prostitutes as such in any Indian station or cantonment.

Colonel WEDGWOOD

That includes Burma?

Mr. MONTAGU

That includes Burma.
