Landon, Dec. 201 The Prime Minister stated. In Parliament to-day that the British Government and the Indian Gay- ernment had agreed to accept the recommendations of the advisory tribunal which reported in Janu- ary regarding the question of pay- ments made by India for recruit- ment and training of British Mill-
tary and Air Force personnel on the Indian establishment, and also India's counter-claim that the Bri- tish Government should make a
contribution towards the cost of the defence of India. Where the tribunal was not unanimous, the Governments will act upon the majority recommendation.
The Prime Minister said this in- volved the accéptance by the Gov- ernment of India of capitalization charges calculated in accordance with the tribunal's suggestion as i legitimate charge on Indian re- vinue, On the other hand the pay- ment to India of a grant from British revenue was accepted, the amount of this grant to be £1,500,- 900 annually. This would include an annual subsidy" of £130,000 hitherto paid from Army funds to- cost of transport of wards the British, troops to and from India, the continuance of which was one matters referred to the of the tribunal British Wireless,
