§ 8. Colonel YATEasked the Under-Secretary of State for War if he is aware that instances have occurred in which 402 officers of the General Reserve above the rank of major have been reported on as fit and recommended for promotion by the general officers under whom they were serving overseas, and that they have been refused promotion in spite of the provisions of the Royal Warrant and of the Army Council Instruction under which they are eligible for it; and if, in the interests of the Service and in justice to the officers concerned, he will take steps to rectify this?
§ Mr. MACPHERSONThis question is at present under consideration.
