§ 19. Mr. Turtonasked the Secretary of State for War whether he will reintroduce substantive promotion in the Territorial Army that has been embodied?
§ Sir J. GriggI am not satisfied that there is sufficient case for changing the present policy under which Territorial Army officers receive promotion under war-time regulations only.
§ Mr. TurtonIs my right hon. Friend aware that in some units Regular Army officers are receiving substantive promotion which has been denied to Territorial officers, and will he reconsider the matter?
§ Sir J. GriggSubstantive promotion in the case of the Regular Army is based on the pre-war establishment.
