HC Deb 10 March 1919 vol 113 cc909-10
29. Colonel YATE

asked the Secretary of State for India if he will state exactly to what extent the British officers of the Indian Army will be benefited by the extension to them of the bonus recently granted to officers of the British Army for the period during which Armies of Occupation will be maintained; does this apply to every British officer of the Indian Army or only to those serving with an Army of Occupation; and, if so, what it is proposed to do for the benefit of those remaining in India?

Mr. FISHER

The bonus granted to British officers serving in the Armies of Occupation will be issued with effect from the 1st February to British officers of the Indian Army serving in India as well as to those serving in Armies of Occupation.
