HC Deb 25 January 1949 vol 460 c89W
4. Mr. G. Williams

asked the Secretary of State for War what is the position with regard to call up in the Army of ex-personnel of the Indian Army.

Mr. Shinwell

British officers and men with the Indian Army consisted of two categories, those attached and those who actually formed part of the Indian Army. Those attached were released under British Release Regulations and are liable to recall in the event of an emergency. Those who belonged to the Indian Army are not liable to recall in the event of an emergency.
