§ 10. Mr. T. WILLIAMSasked the Secretary of State for India what steps have been taken since the conclusion of the second session of the India Round Table Conference towards settling the issue between the Government of India and His Majesty's Government, in the matter of the payment of capitation charges by the Government of India for the recruiting and training of British troops subsequently garrisoned in India; and whether any progress has been made in the investigation of the possibility of otherwise effecting a reduction of the burden on Indian revenues of the section of the British Army garrisoned in India?
§ Sir S. HOAREAs the result of negotiations, it has now been agreed that the question of the capitation charges and the incidence of India's defence expenditure shall be referred to an Advisory Tribunal, and I hope very shortly to be in a position to announce the terms of reference and the names of the chairman and members.
