HC Deb 09 November 1916 vol 87 c429W
Colonel YATE

asked the Secretary of State for India if there is any military or other reason why the Military Service Act should not be applied to all Europeans and Anglo-Indians in India?

Mr. CHAMBERLAIN

The Military Service Acts do not apply to any of His Majesty's subjects outside Great Britain, and I see no reason for making a special exception in the case of those resident in India.
