HC Deb 17 July 1900 vol 86 c225
MR. BARTLEY (Islington, N.)

I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for War whether he is aware that many second lieutenants in the Royal Artillery, who have had two years training at Woolwich and have served nearly three years in the artillery, are not allowed to receive the full rank of lieutenant, while those now joining the artillery direct from school with no training at Woolwich, will be made full lieutenants in three years; and whether steps will be taken at once to remedy this state of things.

* MR. WYNDHAM

Time spent at the Royal Military Academy, Woolwich, is not permitted to reckon as Army service. The Secretary of State for War sees no reason for making any alteration in this respect.
