§ Captain BOWYERasked the Under-Secretary of State for India whether the pre-War pensions paid to ex-officers of the Indian Army will be increased, as a result of the recent decision of His Majesty's Government to introduce legislation with the object of improving the scale of pre-War pensions; and, if so, what steps Indian Army officers ought to take?
§ Earl WINTERTONThe case of retired officers of the Indian Army will, of course, not be overlooked in any improvement of the scale of pre-War pensions paid by Indian revenues which may be decided upon as a result of the contemplated legislation here. It is not necessary for such officers at present to take any steps in the matter.
