13. Mr. NEWDEGATEasked the Under-Secretary of State for War whether veterinary surgeons in the Territorial Forces will be given the same privileges as 1595 regards promotion as veterinary surgeons holding commissions in the New Army; whether he is aware that veterinary surgeons holding temporary commissions have been promoted over the heads of more experienced veterinary surgeons holding commissions in the Territorial Forces; and whether he is aware that many veterinary surgeons in the Territorial Forces have perforce lost excellent practices through inability to attend to their business?
§ Mr. TENNANTI can assure the hon. Gentleman that careful attention is being given to the points raised in his question.
