§ Colonel YATEasked the Secretary of State for India whether the troops fighting the Turks at Aden are considered to be on active service; if so, why special field service allowance given to Indian troops serving in Mesopotamia and Egypt is withheld from those at Aden and Sheikh; why officers invalided from Aden as casualties are compelled to change their leave on medical certificate into sixty days' privilege leave; and why the officers at Aden are charged Income Tax, and the officers and men deprived of the customary concession of free postage to places other than to India?
§ Mr. CHAMBERLAINI have not the information required to answer all my hon. Friend's question. If he will be good enough to withdraw the question, I will make inquiries and communicate with him as soon as I am able to give a full answer.
