2. Lieut.-Commander KENWORTHY

asked the Secretary of State for India whether he has now considered Cmd. 3451, Report of the Indian Central Committee, 1928–29, and especially paragraph 137 of Chapter 6, and the recommendation of the committee with regard to the establishment of a military college in India; and whether he can report any progress in the preparations for the establishment of such college or colleges in India for the training of suitable Indian gentlemen for Commissions in His Majesty's Forces?

Mr. BENN

I have, of course, read what is said on this matter and others in the report. I have explained to my hon. and gallant Friend the lines on which the Government of India are working, and I can only assure him that further steps will be taken as soon as the occasion presents itself.

Lieut. - Commander KENWORTHY

Can my right hon. Friend assure me that the matter is being got on with without delay? Ten months is a long time.

Mr. BENN

Yes, Sir.
