§ 11. Mr. HARDIEasked the Under-Secretary of State for India when it is proposed to give effect to the recommendations of the Lee Commission for Indianising the railway staff in India, and recruiting 75 per cent. of Indians?
§ Earl WINTERTONThe recommendation of the Lee Commission that steps should be taken to work up to the recruitment in India of 75 per cent. of the staff is now under consideration, and I hope that a decision will be reached very shortly.
§ Mr. WARDLAW-MILNEIs it not the case that already steps have been taken in this direction?
§ Earl WINTERTONIn the ordinary course of events there has been a great increase of Indianisation since the War; but the question refers to the particular proposals of the Lee Commission.
