§ MAJOR RASCH (Essex, S.E.)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War, with reference to the promotion of Quartermaster Sergeants and Colour Sergeants, would he consider the possibility of extending the limit imposed by the last paragraph of Article 638 of 1892 from 1st January 1889 to 1st January 1890?
§ *THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR WAR (Mr. CAMPBELL-BANNERMAN,) Stirling, &c.No, Sir; I am afraid that I cannot hold out any hope of this relaxation.
§ MAJOR RASCHWill the right hon. Gentleman consider the case of men with over 18 years' service?
