6. Duchess of ATHOLL

asked the Secretary of State for India the number of Indian cadets who passed successfully out of the Royal Military College, Sandhurst, into the Indian Army, and the number of these now holding commissions in that Army?

Sir S. HOARE

The numbers are 153 and 139 respectively, the latter including officers commissioned to the Unattached List for the Indian Army pending their final posting to that Army.

Captain CAZALET

Is it the intention of the Government that in future Indian cadets should go to the Sandhurst in India, and not to a military college here?

Sir S. HOARE

Yes, that is the intention of the Government.
