§ GENERAL GOLDSWORTHY (Hammersmith)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War whether, as the system of selection for the rank of Colonel and Major General is now gradually coming into operation, he is able to give the House any details as to the constitution of the new promotion Board which is to be established?
§ ٭ MR. E. STANHOPEI am not surprised that my hon. and gallant Friend has called my attention to this matter, which is of great importance. I am afraid it would not be possible to explain the constitution of the proposed Board within the limits of an answer; but I will deal fully with the subject in the statement I am about to make to the House.
