§ Sir J. D. REESasked the Under-Secretary of State for India whether the Government has been asked to rule that all Government contractors and engineers must take a number of Indian students into their employment as apprentices without payment of premium; and, if so, whether the Government proposes to accede to demands of this description?
§ Mr. MONTAGUA suggestion to this effect has been made in a memorial addressed to the Secretary of State by Indian students of engineering in this country. The memorial is under consideration. The Committee appointed last year, with Sir Theodore Morison as chairman, to inquire as to the training of Indian technical students considered the matter, and their views are expressed in the Report, which will shortly be published.
