§ Sir J. GRIFFITHSasked the Secretary of State for India if he is aware that officers were encouraged by the Indian Government to study the Russian language, being promised a monetary reward of £125 on passing first-class interpretership and a second sum of £75 on requalifying after five years, and, further, that officers who have applied under these rules to requalify have been informed that the regulations have been altered, and that therefore the definite undertaking on which they proceeded to Russia has been cancelled; and if he will state what the intentions of the Indian Government are in regard to this?
§ Mr. FISHERThe matter has been referred to the Government of India for consideration.
