§ Major H. TERRELLasked the Secretary of State for India if he will lay upon the Table before the Debate on the Meso- 1757W potamia Report takes place the statement of the deficiency in the personnel and equipment of the Indian Army submitted by General Sir O'Moore Creagh on the 30th January, 1914, and the Report submitted by him in 1911 of the reasons which, in his opinion, made the reduction in the Indian Army which he was ordered to make unwise?
§ Mr. CHAMBERLAINThe statement to which the hon. Member refers is, I presume, a Memorandum by Sir O'Moore Creagh on the Reports of the Army in India Committee. I am not sure what documents are referred to as "the Report submitted by him in 1911." The Reports of the Army in India Committee itself has never been published and cannot be published now. It is impossible that I should publish comments upon them.
§ Major TERRELLasked the Secretary of State for India whether he will produce the confirmatory Report of Surgeon-General Babtie mentioned in telegram H 5620, of the 16th June, 1915, set out in page 74, paragraph 53, of the Mesopotamia Report?
§ Mr. CHAMBERLAINThe Report itself was not sent home. The gist of it, according to the Commission, is contained in the Viceroy s telegram of 16th June, 1915.
