HC Deb 08 February 1937 vol 320 c57W
Mr. Day

asked the Under-Secretary of State for India whether he will state the total number of vacancies at Sandhurst which have, since the commencement of the scheme for the Indianisation of the Indian army, been filled by competition by candidates belonging to the enlisted classes?

Mr. Butler

Since 1933 Indian cadets have been trained at the Indian Military Academy in India and no longer at Sandhurst. In either case candidates entering by competition have not been classified according to whether they belong to the enlisted classes or otherwise; and I am not aware that the information asked for is available.
