HC Deb 12 May 1914 vol 62 cc938-9W
Mr. CHANCELLOR

asked the Under-Secretary of State for India whether, in consequence of recent decisions in the Courts of India that the right of creditors to secure payment of debts by attachment of a moiety of the salaries of public officers has been held not to apply to officers in the Army, the collection of debts from them has been rendered almost impossible, and the credit of Army officers thereby impaired; and whether steps will "be taken to place them in the same position in regard to debts as that of other officers in the public service?

Mr. C. ROBERTS

The subject is still engaging the attention of the Secretary of State. He is not in a position at present to make any statement.
