HC Deb 14 March 1917 vol 91 c1073
43. Colonel M'CALMONT

asked whether the question of substantive promotion for officers of the Special and General Reserves of Officers is receiving the immediate attention of the Army Council?

Mr. MACPHERSON

Yes, Sir. These questions are being considered by the Committee, of which my right hon. Friend the Member for Dundee is chairman.

Colonel M'CALMONT

Will evidence be produced before the Committee from officers who have personal experience, and not entirely from officers on the Staff who merely have to administer the Regulations?

Mr. MACPHERSON

Yes. I am hopeful that we shall be able to have evidence from at least two hon. and gallant Members of this House.
