HC Deb 20 February 1919 vol 112 cc1181-2W
Viscount WOLMER

asked the Secretary of State for India whether barracks have been built for troops of the Indian Army stationed at Chaklala, Punjab; and whether barracks have also been built for British officers of these regiments or whether they have been obliged to live in tents during the summer?

Mr. MONTAGU

One of the new battalions of the Indian Army is temporarily located at Chaklala. This battalion is one of those raised for service during the War. A large number of additional battalions has been raised and trained in India, and it was impossible to provide barracks for all these units while training in India.
