HC Deb 11 August 1920 vol 133 cc419-20W
Colonel YATE

asked the Secretary of State for India whether the new Army Regulations in India include a Clause to the effect that troops called out to suppress riots are not to be allowed any ball ammunition; and, if so, what is the reason for this new Order?

Mr. MONTAGU

I have not yet received the Government of India's answer to my telegraphic enquiry, but will let the hon. and gallant Member know when it comes.
