§ Sir ROBERT NEWMANasked the Secretary of State for War whether the decision that temporary captains or majors of the Royal Army Medical Corps (Territorial Force) who, at the time of their demobilisation, are holding higher rank temporarily and may have held it for many months, shall only receive gratuities calculated on their last substantive rank, has been again under consideration; if so, with what result; and, if not, will the matter be reconsidered with the view of granting gratuities calculated on acting rank?
Captain GUESTI would ask my hon. Friend to await the further instructions dealing with this matter which will be issued almost immediately.
