§ 22. Mr. WATTasked the Under-Secretary of State for War whether his Department has any statistics of the number of military representatives at tribunals throughout the country who have received promotions or decorations or honours since the passing of the Military Service Act; will he say for what work these honours are given, in view of the fact that these men are always in the zone of safety?
§ Mr. MACPHERSONA small number of military representatives appearing before the Appeal Tribunals who already held military rank as lieutenant have been promoted to the rank of captain because it was considered essential to the proper performance of their duties. A few gentlemen who had also been engaged as military representatives were mentioned in the list appearing in the Press recently for good service. Beyond this no promotions, honours, or decorations have been given to military representatives for their work as such.
