§ MAJOR NOLANasked the Secretary of State for War, If, in view of the separation decided on between the 87th and 88th Regiments, it is proposed to promote any more officers from one of these regiments to the other?
§ MR. CHILDERSIn reply to the hon. and gallant Gentleman I have to say that I cannot undertake at this moment to interfere with the promotion in the 87th and 88th Regiments; but that the question of promotions in Battalions, which will in July be combined in territorial regiments, differently from their combinations in Brigades, is receiving very careful consideration.
