§ 61. Sir G. AGNEWasked whether colonels in command of second-line brigades of the Territorial Force, being graded for purposes of pay as assistant adjutant-generals, and their brigade majors and staff captains, are entitled to Tear staff distinctions?
§ Mr. TENNANTA colonel commanding a brigade is not a staff officer, and is not entitled to wear staff distinctions.
§ 62. Sir G. AGNEWasked the Under-Secretary for War whether his attention has been called to the fact that commanders of second-line brigades in the Territorial Force, although performing the duties of brigadier-generals, are only granted the rank of colonel and the pay of Assistant adjutant-generals; and whether, in the interests of efficiency, he will consider the advisability of giving them the rank of brigadier-generals?
§ Mr. TENNANTThe status of these officers has been fixed after due consideration of the duties which they are called upon to perform, and the Army Council do not consider that there is, for the present, sufficient ground for its alteration.
