Oral Answers to Questions — India. – in the House of Commons am ar 19 Mawrth 1923.
asked the Under-Secretary of State for India what steps have been taken to carry out the undertaking given by the Secretary of State on the 15th and the 28th June, 1921, that the Government of India, in the comprehensive resolution which they were about to issue on the pay of the Indian Civil Service, would deal with all the circumstances, including the cost of sea passages?
I do not think that the reply given by the late Secretary of State, to a supplementary question on 28th June warrants the construction put upon it by my hon. Friend. As regards the question of affording relief in respect of the high cost of passages, I would refer to the answer given to the hon. and gallant Member for the Melton Division (Sir C. Yate) on 12th March, to which I cannot at present add anything.
