HC Deb 19 April 1886 vol 305 cc11-2
MR. MACDONALD CAMERON&c.) (Wick,

asked the Secretary of State for War, Whether a Memorial has been received from the Supplementary Clerks of the War Office, supported by the opinion of counsel, alleging that several of these gentlemen are suffering from a breach of faith as to their prospects of official advancement; and, if so, whether he will consider the expediency of taking such steps as may be necessary to remedy the grievances complained of?

THE SECRETARY OF STATE (Mr. CAMPBELL-BANNERMAN)&c.) (Stirling,

I have seen the Memorial referred to; but I have not had time since I came into Office to go thoroughly into the question raised in it. The hon. Member may be sure that it will not be neglected.
