HC Deb 16 March 1944 vol 398 cc390-1
42. Major-General Sir Alfred Knox

asked the Secretary of State for India how many natives of Bengal and how many of the Punjab are now serving on the Assam frontier.

The Secretary of State for India (Mr. Amery)

I am afraid that it would not be in the public interest to publish the figures.

Sir A. Knox

Can my right hon. Friend state whether there are any Bengali regiments serving on the Assam frontier?

Mr. Amery

I have not the actual figures, but it would not be in the public interest to give the distribution of troops on the Assam frontier.
