§ 40. Mr. FORESTIER-WALKERasked the Secretary of State for War if he is aware that an officer in the temporary forces is prevented from obtaining substantive rank gratuity because the Army Order dealing with that matter, through evidently an oversight, makes no mention of temporary but only of acting rank; and whether he will reconsider this matter?
§ Mr. FORSTERMy hon. Friend is, I think, under some misapprehension. No difference is made in these respects between the officers in the temporary forces and those in the permanent Regular Army.
