50. Brigadier-General BROWNasked the Secretary of State for India whether any British or Indian troops have been transferred from India to reinforce garrisons in China; and whether, in view of the contingencies that may arise in India, the British forces in India are being maintained at their present strength?
§ Sir S. HOARENo troops have been sent from India to China. A minor alteration in the normal relief programme may be made by which a British battalion will move from India to China a few weeks earlier than it would have sailed from India in the ordinary course.
