68. Sir BERTRAM FALLE

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty in what branches of the Royal Navy is promotion to warrant rank authorised by Order-in-Council as a reward for long and zealous service?

Mr. AMMON

As the reply is rather long, I will, with the hon. Member's permission, circulate it in the OFFICIAL REPORT.

Following is the reply:
