HC Deb 09 May 1912 vol 38 cc724-5W
Mr. WATT

asked the Under-Secretary of State for War whether it is at present possible for natives of India to become officers in British regiments; and, if so,, will he say how many of such are now holding commissions?

Colonel SEELY

I presume my hon. Friend means persons of Indian descent by his phrase natives of India. If that is so, the answer to his question is in the negative.
