HC Deb 09 August 1901 vol 99 c275
MR. PEEL (Manchester, S.)

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War whether, in view of the fact that the Militia and Yeomanry Bill of this session extends the provisions of the Militia Act of 1882 to the Imperial Yeomanry, he will consider the advisability of placing officers of the Imperial Yeomanry on an equality with officers of the Militia as regards precedence.

LORD STANLEY

Yes, Sir; this point will be considered.

In reply to Mr. COURTENAY WARNER (Staffordshire, Lichfield)—

LORD STANLEY

said the whole question of promotion was under consideration, but it would not do for him to make any statement at present.
