§ 67. Brigadier Lowasked the Under-secretary of State for India why officer Groups 21 to 24 of the Indian Army have had their release dates deferred.
§ The Under-Secretary of State for India (Mr. Arthur Henderson)Group 21 of the Indian Army had been called forward by the Government of India and was either in transit camp or en route thereto at the time it was decided in October that the release programme for officers would have to be revised. This group proceeded by sea to the United Kingdom during November for release. In regard to Groups 22 to 24, I would refer the hon. and gallant Member to my reply to the hon. and gallant Member for Bewdley (Major Conant) on 12th November.
