§ 77. Colonel YATEasked why captains of the general Reserve are not promoted to the rank of major and subalterns of the general Reserve to the rank of captain when vacancies occur in their units?
§ Mr. TENNANTThey are promoted into vacancies when they become senior of their rank.
§ Colonel YATEIs the right hon. Gentleman aware that senior captains in the Reserve serving at the front as second in command of their regiments have been refused promotion to major, and that many senior and experienced officers are thus treated?
§ Mr. TENNANTI am not aware of that, but if my hon. and gallant Friend will give me precise cases, I will certainly have them inquired into.
§ Colonel YATEI thank the right hon. Gentleman for that assurance.
