§ MR. COURTHOPE (Sussex, Rye)To ask the Secretary of State for War whether it is necessary for a subaltern of the Territorial Force who has attended a month's course at a school of instruction or depot, and satisfied the commandant and adjutant, to also attend for examination at the head-quarters of the division, of which his corps is part, before receiving his certificate and qualifying to command a company.
(Answered by Mr. Secretary Haldane.) It is necessary for a subaltern so situated to pass the examination for Certificate B before promotion to the rank of captain. This examination is held at times and places settled by General Officers Commanding-in-Chief of the various commands.
