§ 12. Sir GEORGE GREENWOODasked the Under-Secretary of State for War whether all the vacancies that have occurred prior to 1st September, 1918, in the ranks of officers holding permanent commissions as lieutenant-colonel or major in the Royal Horse Artillery and Royal Field Artillery of the Territorial Force have been filled by substantive promotions; and, if not, what is the reason for the delay in filling them?
§ Mr. MACPHERSONAll the vacancies that occurred prior to the 1st September 581 last have not been filled owing to several of the senior officers being at present temporarily medically unfit, and it is considered that it would be inequitable definitely to supersede them.
