§ Major BOYD-CARPENTERasked the Secretary of State for India whether he is aware that drafts of British soldiers arriving in India from England are sent direct from Bombay to Drolali, and are kept at the latter place for over a month; 1828W that the accommodation at Drolali is inadequate for the large number of troops concentrated there, and that soldiers are therefore forced to live under canvas even in the hot period at the end of March and beginning of April; what arrangements are made at Drolali for the men's amusement and comfort or training; and whether, since it would be more economical and advantageous to the Army, arrangements can be made to send drafts direct from Bombay to their units instead of keeping them at a concentration camp for such long periods?
§ Earl WINTERTONI have no information, but the Government of India have been asked for a Report.
