§ 3. Mr. HANCOCKasked the Under-Secretary of State for India what the percentage of British troops in the Indian Army has been for each of the last 10 years?
§ Earl WINTERTONI assume that what the hon. Member desires to know is the proportion of British to Indian troops in India during the last 10 years. The 5 answer is as follows: During 1913 and 1914, 1 British to 2.5 Indian. During the years 1915–18 it is impossible to say, owing to continual troop movements overseas. From 1919 to date the proportion has been, approximately, 1: 2.65.
