HC Deb 20 April 1915 vol 71 cc162-3
28. Sir CLEMENT KINLOCH-COOKE

asked the Under-Secretary of State for War whether the recent order arranging for the promotion to captains of all lieutenants in the Royal Army Medical Corps includes Royal Army Medical Corps' lieutenants of the Territorial Forces; and, if not, will he consider the advisability of their inclusion?

Mr. TENNANT

No, Sir, it is not intended to extend the arrangement referred to to the Territorial Force, as the circumstances are not the same.

Sir C. KINLOCH-COOKE

Is it not the fact that those men have to leave their practices and are put to a great deal of expenditure, and could not the right hon. Gentleman see his way to do something to meet the case?

Mr. TENNANT

Yes, but so are other medical practitioners.
