§ 2. Colonel YATEasked the Secretary of State for India whether the recommendations of the Government of India on the subject of the proportionate pensions to be granted to the Civil Service in India in the event of the Government of India Bill becoming law have yet been received; if so, will he state what those proportionate pensions are to be, so as to enable both the Government of India and the officials concerned to make their arrangements in time; and, if not yet received, will he call for them to be submitted at once?
§ Mr. MONTAGUMy hon. and gallant Friend possibly has in mind the remarks of the Government of India published in Parliamentary Paper Cmd. 123, in which, however, they expressly say that they do not propose to make any general offer of proportionate pensions. I can add nothing to the answer given to him on the 2nd July.
