§ Sir J. GRIFFITHSasked the Secretary of State for India, whether he will endeavour to arrange for officers of the Indian Army who have been serving in Russia or other places beyond the limits of India and Mesopotamia for facilities to be afforded them of taking their gratuity in rupees in India irrespective of where they happened to be on 4th August, 1919?
§ Mr. FISHERThe question of what categories of officers should be allowed to draw the sterling gratuity at the specially favourable rate of exchange was most carefully considered, and the Secretary of State regrets that it is not possible to enlarge them.
