11. Sir W. JOYNSON-HICKS

asked the Secretary of State for India whether he is aware of the shortage of European doctors in the Indian Medical Service; and whether he is prepared to give an assurance to the Europeans in India that the utmost effort is being made to provide a European doctor within reasonable access of military and civilian officials and their families?

Mr. MONTAGU

The shortage of European doctors in the Indian Medical Service has engaged my anxious attention for the last two years, and every effort is being made to overcome it. I am alive to the great importance of a sufficient supply of European doctors.
