TROOPS IN MESOPOTAMIA (OFFICERS' WIVES).

HC Deb 03 March 1921 vol 138 cc2032-3W

Sir C. YATE

asked the Secretary of State for India what provision was made for the wives of officers who were sent back to India from Mesopotamia last autumn?

Sir A. WILLIAMSON

I have been asked to reply. The officers' wives have been accommodated and messed at Deolali under arrangements made by the Government of India. I am informed by the Commander-in-Chief that the cost of messing is about one-third the hotel charges.
