§ Mr. JOYNSON-HICKSasked the Under-Secretary of State for War, whether an engineer-clerk in the Territorial division of the Royal Engineers, having held for three years and upwards the rank of sergeant, can under the existing regulations, be promoted, as in the case of a non-commissioned officer of similar rank in the Regular forces?
§ Colonel SEELYThe reply is in the negative. The engineer-clerk for the headquarters of Divisional Engineeers, Territorial Force, is not in the same category as the engineer-clerk of similar rank in the Regular Royal Engineers, whose pay and promotion is governed by Article 936 Royal Warrant for Pay, etc. The Territorial Force clerk is treated as an ordinary sergeant, and receives engineer pay according to his qualifications in trade.
