§ Colonel YATEasked the Secretary of State for India what is the difference in principle between the Auxiliary Force Bill, brought in by the Government of India on a compulsory basis for the defence of India, and the Military Training Act passed by the Government of Australia on a compulsory basis for the defence of Australia; and, as the Australian Act was not prohibited by the Secretary of State for the Colonies, why the Indian Bill should now be prohibited by him?
§ Mr. MONTAGUI do not accept the implication that any principle which the people of Australia choose to apply to themselves isipso facto suitable to be applied to India. As regards the latter part of the question, I must again refer the hon. and gallant Member to the reply given by me on the 28th July.
