§ MR. BRAMSDON (Portsmouth)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War whether he is aware that pensioner Company Quartermaster Sergeant G. Bradley, of the Royal Garrison Artillery, was passed over for promotion by a junior on the 2nd April, 1905, for the rank of Regimental Quartermaster Sergeant through an error, for which he was in no way responsible, that an appeal has been made to the War Office on two occasions, and although it is admitted that the pensioner has been unjustly treated no redress has been given, that a loss of rank and pay amounting to about £14 has resulted up to date of discharge, which was carried out on the 28th February of the present year; and whether he can see his way clear to see that justice is done to the person in question.
§ THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR WAR (Mr. Haldane,) HaddingtonIt is regretted that this man was inadvertently passed over for promotion. I am at present considering whether anything can be done.
