§ Colonel YATEasked the Secretary of State for India whether there are any regiments or units now in India who have been retained there for garrison duty during the whole period of the War; if so, how many; and whether arrangements are now being made for their relief?
§ Mr. MONTAGUThere are a certain number of regiments and units which have been retained in India for defence and garrison duties during the whole period of the War, though that does not mean that all the personnel have served in India during the whole of this period. The units in question belong to the Regular Army and it is too early yet to publish their number. The question of their relief is under consideration in connection with the post-war garrison for India.
