§ Mr. SANDYSasked how many officers of the Territorial Force, who have been promoted provisionally, have failed during the past twelve months to comply with the conditions under which they received such provisional promotion; and how many of those who failed, if any, have been required to revert to their former rank or to resign their commissions?
§ Colonel SEELYThe figures are as follows:—
| Numbers who have failed | 176 |
| Numbers who have reverted only | 9 |
| Numbers who have resigned only | 5 |
| Numbers who have reverted and resigned | 14 |
§ Mr. SANDYSAre we to understand that there are in the Territorial Force a large number of officers doing duty in ranks for which they are not really qualified?
§ Colonel SEELYI do not think we can draw that deduction.
