§ Colonel YATEasked the Secretary of State for India whether he will consider the case of officers of the Indian Army who, after three months' absence in England, due to disablement on service, are placed on English furlough pay and extend to officers invalided to England the same rate of pay that they would receive if on sick leave in India?
§ Mr. CHAMBERLAINThe different rates of pay which officers of the Indian Army receive while on sick leave in India and out of India, respectively, are long established and well-recognised. A liberal concession has already been made by the grant of full Indian pay and full staff pay for the first three months of disablement, and I regret I cannot adopt my hon. and gallant Friend's suggestion.
