HC Deb 05 May 1930 vol 238 cc603-4
8. Brigadier-General CLIFTON BROWN

asked the Secretary of State for India whether the disaffection of certain Indian troops at Peshawar last week was an isolated action; and whether they have been replaced by British troops?

Mr. BENN

I am informed by the Government of India that there has been no sign of any similar incident elsewhere. As announced last Tuesday, the battalion in question was withdrawn from Peshawar at once. It was replaced by a Gurkha battalion.
