HC Deb 19 May 1915 vol 71 cc2352-3W
Sir W. BULL

asked the Under-Secretary of State for War what number of supernumerary brigadiers remain at present to be absorbed; what number of officers have been brought back from the front having been recommended for a brigade; whether they may, after all, not be selected for a brigade; what duties they perform in the interval of being recommended and being appointed; what is the length of this interval in the case of each officer brought back from the front when recommended; and whether any officers have been recommended and not selected but passed over?

Mr. TENNANT

It is not considered advisable to publish these details.

Sir W. BULL

asked the Under-Secretary of State for War when the "Gazette" notifications will be made of the promotions in the 2nd Dragoons consequent upon the promotion of the lieutenant-colonel to be brigadier-general?

Mr. TENNANT

They will be made as soon as possible.
