13. Miss Wardasked the Secretary of State for India the particulars of benefits to be given to men and women released from the Indian Forces on the cessation of hostilities.
§ The Secretary of State for India (Mr. Amery)In the case of British personnel the benefits will be on the general lines of those granted to the British Forces, but certain points of detail still require to be worked out owing to the differences between British and Indian pay systems, and I am not yet in a position to state the particulars. As regards Indian personnel the question is under active consideration by the Government of India.
Miss WardCould the right hon. Gentleman say when he thinks that his Department and the Government of India will be in a position to announce what is going to be done?
