HC Deb 23 July 1919 vol 118 c1328
3. Colonel YATE

asked the Secretary of State for India whether, considering that the new rates of pay, half-pay, and retired pay for officers of the British Army have been approved, he can now state when the new rates of pay, pension, leave, and expatriation allowances will be approved for the officers of the Indian Army?

Mr. MONTAGU

I have asked the Government of India to consider urgently the question of Indian Army pay, and I have suggested as an interim measure the grant of temporary allowances when the War Office have published and applied the new rates of British Army pay. Consideration on similar lines will be given to the leave and pension rates when these are finally settled for the British Army.
