HC Deb 06 November 1919 vol 120 c1700W
Colonel YATE

asked the Secretary. of State for India whether Indian officers of the Indian Army are given the same privilege as British officers of travelling on Form E; and, if not, will he suggest to the Government of India that Indian officers should be allowed to travel second class on payment of third class fares, just as British officers are permitted to travel first class on payment of second class fares.?

Mr. MONTAGU

Indian officers, when on leave, are granted a voucher enabling them to obtain a return ticket to their homes at the cost of a single fare. This concession is in lieu of the Form E concession and applies only to Indian troops.
