GENERAL CAWTHORN said that this question had been considered in India 18 months ago when it was thought that by insisting on strict observance of the rule, the lives of prisoners of war might be endangered. The War Office and Air Ministry had been consulted and were prepared to consider relaxing it. The Commander-in-Chief, India, however, had concluded that it would be dangerous to try to change the policy, especially with Indian troops. It would not be possible to have a separate rule for British and Indian.
