HC Deb 20 July 1909 vol 8 cc268-9
Captain FABER

asked the Secretary of State for War if he will state how many commissions have been given to the Army Pay Department since 1906; and whether any steps can be taken to hasten promotion in that corps?

The SECRETARY of STATE for WAR (Mr. Haldane)

The hon. and gallant Member's question is not clear. No appointments have been made to the Army Pay Department since the formation of the Army Accounts Department in April, 1005, and it is not considered necessary to take any steps to hasten promotion in the former Department.
