Earl WINTERTONAre we to understand that the right hon. Gentleman is interpreting the question literally, and is referring to the Dominions in the true sense of the term, and that this does not include officers from India?
§ The PRIME MINISTERThey are not included.
§ Sir ASSHETON POWNALLHow many years are included in these courses?
§ The PRIME MINISTERI am sorry, but obviously this is not my subject, although I answered the question. If the hon. Member would like to get that information, perhaps he will be good enough to put down another question.
