§ Lieut.-Colonel WHELERasked the Secretary of State for India whether he is aware that officers of British cavalry regiments stationed in India are compelled by regulations to buy chargers necessary for military purposes only and pay for their keep; and whether he is aware that this is a very serious expense to put on cavalry officers, and why the system of hire of chargers now in force in the United Kingdom is not in force in India?
§ Mr. MONTAGUA recommendation on the matter has been made by the Army in India Committee, and is now under consideration by the Government of India.
