§ Colonel YATEasked the Secretary of State for India whether the same rule has been applied to officers of the Indian Army on the unemployed list as was applied to officers of the Navy, in the new rules for naval officers' pay, published in July last, laying down that officers who became due for compulsory retirement during the War, but continued to serve on the active list, would be treated as retired and called-up officers from the date when such retirement was due and would be paid accordingly with retrospective effect to 4th August, 1919?
§ Mr. FISHERNo, Sir. I understand that the War Office have not adopted the present naval practice in this matter for officers of the Army, and I am not prepared to reconsider the existing rules as regards officers of the Indian Army.
