§ COLONEL LEGGE (St. George's, Hanover Square)To ask the Secretary of State for War whether he will consider the claims to promotion of re-employed and reserve officers of Regiments and Departments who have been serving at home during the late war in South Africa, and whose services are still being utilised.
(Answered by Mr. Secretary Brodrick.) Among the re-employed and reserve officers whose promotions were gazetted 802 on the 17th instant the names of some who are still employed will be found. Should further cases arise of such officers who had not then completed the qualifying service of eighteen months' re-employment at home and who are recommended for promotion, they will be duly considered.
