HC Deb 19 March 1928 vol 215 c1
1. Colonel HOWARD-BURY

asked the Under-Secretary of State for India id the Burma allowance, which was withdrawn from Central Government officials at Rangoon in 1924, will now be restored with full retrospective effect, in view of the fact that it was sanctioned in 1919 on a scale which was to last for 10 years?

The UNDER-SECRETARY of STATE for INDIA (Earl Winterton)

As I stated in reply to a question by my hon. and gallant Friend on Tuesday last, the whole question of the grant of Burma allowance has been under examination by the Government of India, and I shall be happy to communicate with him when their Report has been received and considered by my Noble Friend.
