HC Deb 22 February 1922 vol 150 c1873
15. Viscount CURZON

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Admiralty whether he is yet in a position to make any statement with reference to the promotion of lieut.-commanders to commanders, and with reference to the special scheme of retirement for officers of the Royal Navy surplus to requirement?

Mr. AMERY

I am afraid I am not yet in a position to make any statement.

Viscount CURZON

Can the hon. Gentleman give me any idea when he will be able to make the statement, in view of the fact that the failure to get promotion at the proper time is very disheartening to Naval officers?

Mr. AMERY

I am only too anxious to give the information.

Viscount CURZON

But when?
