§ 1. Colonel Sir C. YATEasked the Under-Secretary of State for India whether he is aware that it is impossible for officers in the Army in India to keep a horse on the charger allowance now granted to them; and what steps are being taken to put the recommendation of the Esher Committee Report on the subject into force?
§ The UNDER-SECRETARY of STATE for INDIA (Earl Winterton)I am sending my hon. and gallant Friend a copy of the Government of India's Orders in regard to the expense of maintaining chargers, which represent, I think, a liberal concession in the direction indicated by the Esher Committee.
