HC Deb 20 July 1931 vol 255 cc1074-5W
Major POLE

asked the Secretary of State for India the strength of the university training corps units in India at the beginning of the present year?

Mr. BENN

I am obliged to my hon. and gallant Friend for giving me the opportunity of correcting an error in the figures which I supplied in reply to a similar question on 27th April last, and which in fact related only to a part of the scheme to which he refers. The total strength at the beginning of the present year was 113 officers (including 11 belonging to the permanent staff), and 4,025 other ranks, out of a total combined establishment of 194 officers and 4,850 other ranks.
