§ 96. Colonel YATEasked the Secretary of State for India what action has been taken to secure that the system of educational training now adopted in the British Army is continued on similar lines for the British troops in India; whether this system is also to be made applicable to the Indian troops; and what organisation has been established at general headquarters, Delhi, for the supervision and administration of the work?
§ Mr. FISHERThe Government of India have been engaged for some months in the preparation of a comprehensive scheme for the extension of the system referred to by my hon. and gallant Friend to the British Army in India, and, eventually, mutatis mutandis, to the Indian Army. A General Staff Officer, 1st Grade, of the British Service, with experience of the system in the United Kingdom, was deputed last autumn to the Commander-in-Chief's staff, to assist in working out the scheme, and I understand that the Government of India have appointed an Indian Army officer of the same rank to assist similarly in the application of the scheme to Indian units.
