HC Deb 13 June 1917 vol 94 cc927-8
25. Sir JOHN SPEAR

asked if, seeing the valour shown by Territorials in the War, he will consider the desirability of providing that promotions shall be open to officers and men of these units on the same conditions that prevail with regard to promotions in the Regular Forces?

Mr. MACPHERSON

This is already being carried out in all combatant branches of the Territorial Force. The new system is not yet in full working order, but I hope it soon will be.
