§ 67. Sir Arnold Wilsonasked the Secretary of State for War whether any regulations are in existence prohibiting the enlistment in India, for service in the British Army, of Anglo-Indians of good physique and character; and whether he will consider the desirability of encouraging such enlistments, having regard to the creditable military records of such men during the Great War?
§ Mr. Hore-BelishaThe answer to the first part of the question is that the regulations at present in force do have the effect suggested, although an Anglo-Indian section of the Royal Army Ordnance Corps has been formed in India, and other expansions are under consideration. The answer to the second part is that I will certainly consider the proposal.
