8. Sir Percy Harris

asked the Secretary of State for War how many Territorial officers since the outbreak of war, have been promoted to the rank of general; and also, how many temporary officer shave reached the same rank?

Captain Margesson

One Territorial Army officer has been promoted to the temporary rank of lieutenant-general since the outbreak of war and five Territorial Army officers have been promoted to the acting or local rank of major-general. Three temporary officers have been promoted to the acting or local rank of major-general.

Sir P. Harris

Can the Minister say how this compares with the number of officers promoted in the Australian, Canadian and New Zealand contingents?

Captain Margesson

Perhaps the right hon. Gentleman will give me notice of that Question.
