Sir C. YATESasked the Under-Secretary of State for War whether he is aware that there are subalterns now in the Royal Malta Artillery of 21 years' service and over, and that they have nothing further to look forward to except compulsory retirement at the age of 50; and what decision has been arrived at regarding the promotion and the rules for age and retirement of officers of the Royal Malta Artillery?
Lieut.-Colonel GUINNESSI am aware of the position as regards subalterns, but I regret that I am not yet able to announce a decision.
