§ MR. DALRYMPLEasked the Secretary of State for War, Whether promotion in the Militia regiments, which will now be the 3rd and 4th battalions of the Territorial Regiment, is to be in the battalion in which the vacancy occurs, or whether officers may be liable to be promoted out of their own battalion into the other Militia battalion of the Territorial Regiment?
§ MR. CHILDERSSir, in reply to the hon. Member, I have to say that I had not intended to disturb the rule of promotion in Militia battalions; but I am much obliged to him for his suggestion, which we will consider.
