ARMY SERVICE OFFICE CORPS.

HC Deb 20 March 1891 vol 351 c1531

MR. KELLY (Camberwell, N.)

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War whether the two colonelcies now vacant in the Army Service Office Corps are to be filled up by promotion in the ordinary way; and, if not, why this is not to be done?

*THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR WAR (Mr. E. STANHOPE,) Lincolnshire, Horncastle

Certain proposals affecting promotion in the Army Service Corps have for some time been under the consideration of the Treasury. The answer to this question depends on the decision which may be come to.
