§ MR. McCRAE (Edinburgh, E.)To ask the Secretary of State for War whether non-commissioned officers of the Line attaining the rank of sergeant will be allowed the privilege of retaining their rank and wearing uniform on retirement after ten years service, as at present accorded to sergeants serving their time engagement as instructors of volunteers.
(Answered by Mr. Secretary Haldane.) This Question has received very careful consideration; but it has not been found possible to make the concession suggested by my hon. friend.
