HC Deb 17 October 1916 vol 86 c411W
Colonel YATE

also asked when the Report of the Commission of Inquiry into the causes and responsibility for the deaths from heat-stroke that occurred in the troop train amongst the men disembarked from the transport "Ballarat" at Karachi in June last will be published?

Mr. C. ROBERTS

The Secretary of State does not propose to publish the Report of the Inquiry. The findings of the Committee and the action taken thereon by the Government of India as regards the responsible officers concerned has already been communicated to the House. The hon. and gallant Member will be glad to hear that the Government of India have now issued revised Regulations regarding the dispatch of troops by rail during the hot weather which should prevent the recurrence of such an incident.
