§ 10. Sir C. YATEhad given notice of the following question: To ask the Secretary of State for India if he can state for what reason demobilised officers in India, who have been detained for so many weeks past at Deolali pending transport to England, have been compelled to sign a declaration that they would not hold the Government responsible in the event of accidents occurring out of the trooping season owing to hot weather risks; whether this declaration applies to the wives of the officers concerned and what compensation is to be given to those officers who have been kept long after the expiration of their contract date at personal loss to themselves?
§ Mr. SPEAKERSir Charles Yate.
§ Sir C. YATEQuestion No. 10 is postponed. If I put down the question again in a fortnight, will the right hon. Gentleman be able to give me an answer?
§ Mr. MONTAGUI will telegraph to the Government of India. If my hon. and gallant Friend will put down the question in a fortnight and I have not a complete answer then, perhaps, he will be good enough to repeat it.
