HC Deb 29 May 1919 vol 116 cc1457-8W
Mr. ARCHDALE

asked the Secretary of State for India if it is possible for the India Office to give some information to parents of officers serving in the Indian Army as to their sons' whereabouts?

Mr. MONTAGU

Any information which is available in the India Office as to an officer's whereabouts is at the disposal of his next-of-kin, but I am afraid it is impracticable for the India Office to maintain a record of the postings of all Indian Army Officers. Changes are very frequent still, and will continue to be so for some time before things become normal.
