§ 8. Mr. HICKSasked the Secretary of State for India whether it is proposed to restore, in the coming financial year, the cuts in salaries made in the civil, military, and railway all-India services, respectively; and what is the amount of the total cuts made in these respective services as at present in force?
§ Sir S. HOAREIt is unfortunately necessary to continue the emergency cuts for a further year but I am glad to say that it has been found possible to reduce the amount. Legislation will be required in this connection and I have already introduced a Bill which I hope will be taken in this House at a very early date when the details of the proposed reductions will be explained.
