HC Deb 27 April 1915 vol 71 cc545-6
8. Sir HENRY CRAIK

asked the Under-Secretary of State for War if officers of the Special Reserve of the Royal Army Medical Corps are being treated differently from the rest of that corps as regards temporary promotion; and, if so, upon what grounds that difference is based?

Mr. TENNANT

Temporary promotion is not given in the Regular Royal Army Medical Corps. In the Special Reserve Royal Army Medical Corps promotion is by time, but it is probable that some promotions otherwise than in respect of a period of service will be made.

Colonel YATE

Will permanent promotions be given to captains in the Royal Army Medical Corps?

Mr. TENNANT

I must ask for notice of that question.
