On other matters the proposals of the Government of India have still to be received.
§ Colonel YATEHave the proposals with regard to the increase of pay and pensions of the Indian Services yet been received?
§ Mr. MONTAGUMy hon. and gallant Friend will probably see what has happened with regard to the Indian police and Indian medical services.
