MR. OWEN LEWISasked the Secretary of State for War, If it is his intention to introduce the Army promotion and retirement scheme by Royal Warrant or not; and if it is true that Majors and Captains who obtained their present rank before the abolition of purchase will not be liable to compulsory retirement under its provisions?
MR. GATHORNE HARDYI hope the hon. Member will not think me guilty of discourtesy if I reply that my intention is to introduce the measure as a whole, and not to answer Questions as to parts of it.
