HC Deb 08 June 1931 vol 253 cc631-2W
Sir C. OMAN

asked the Secretary of State for India whether he can make a statement as to the methods adopted and the progress achieved in the Indianisation of certain units of the Imperial Forces in India?

Mr. BENN

The existing policy is to Indianise the officer ranks in eight selected units of the Indian Army, and at present 105 Indian officers hold commissions. As the House is aware, further proposals are now being made, and I hope to be able to announce details shortly.
