§ MR. WEIR (Ross and Cromarty)To ask the Secretary for Scotland if he will state whether any steps have yet been taken with a view to the repair and enlargement of the burial ground at Balinakill, in the parish of Uig, Island of Lewis.
§ the names of officers whose promotion appears to be unduly retarded are brought forward from time to time as opportunities offer for extra-regimental promotion. As regards the lieutenant-colonels they will be granted retired pay at £420 a year four years after the date of their appointment to the command of one of the disbanded battalions, if not otherwise provided for. In the meantime every effort is being made to provide for them, and four have already been given appointments, two being transferred to the command of battalions in other regiments and two having been granted extra-regimental employment.
