Sir J. D. REESasked the Secretary of State for India what progress has been made with the repatriation of Germans and whether a decision has been reached by which Germans shall be excluded altogether from India for a fixed period; and whether he can make any announcement regarding the policy to be pursued in this behalf?
§ Mr. MONTAGUThe repatriation of Germans from India is steadily proceeding, and before long no German will remain in India except those who for very special reasons are granted exemption. The precise period during which Germans will not be allowed to enter India has not yet been finally decided, but it will not be less than, at any rate, three years.
