Oral Answers to Questions — India. – in the House of Commons at on 21 July 1927.
asked the Under-Secretary of State for India the number of Indians who have been admitted to the Indian Civil Service during each of the last five years by examination in India, and the number admitted by examination in this country; and the number of Europeans admitted in each of the last five years?
As the answer involves a number of figures, I will, with the hon. Member's permission, circulate it in the OFFICIAL REPORT. The totals are Indians admitted by examination in India, 40, and by examination in England, 61. Europeans admitted by examination in England, 69.
The answer to the first part of the question is in the negative. The price to be paid is 256 lakhs. So far as my Noble Friend is aware, no part of the price has yet been paid.
