HC Deb 24 May 1906 vol 157 c1408
MR. JOWETT (Bradford, W.)

I beg to ask the Secretary to the Admiralty; if supplementary lieutenants in the Royal Navy are to have a chance to be promoted the same as other lieutenants in the Royal Navy.

MR. EDMUND ROBERTSON

The regulations under which these officers entered (which were established by Order in Council June 29th, 1895,) do not provide for promotion above rank of lieutenant on the active list except for distinguished war service.

CAPTAIN CRAIG (Down, E.)

May I ask why it is that to-day the Union Jack is not flying over the Admiralty, as well as other public buildings?

MR. SPEAKER

Order, order. That does not arise out of the Question on the Paper.
