§ Mr. Ridleyasked the Secretary of State for War whether territorials or supplementary reservists serving with the Royal Army Pay Corps are eligible for commissions in other units; and, if so, how many have been granted?
§ Mr. StanleyThe personnel referred to are eligible to be considered for commissions in other units, but none of them has yet been granted a commission.
§ Mr. Ridleyasked the Secretary of State for War how many commissions in the Royal Army Pay Corps have, since the outbreak of war, been granted to soldiers serving in the ranks; and how many to persons who have not previously served in the ranks?
§ Mr. StanleyThe numbers are 30 and 626, respectively. In the case of the latter, those commissioned were members of the Army Officers' Emergency Reserve and the great majority had previous commissioned service.
