Captain CRAIGasked the Secretary of State for War whether he is aware that since 6th May, 1908, there has not been one subaltern of the Royal Garrison Artillery promoted to the rank of captain; and can he state approximately when subaltern No. 480 on the waiting list will in the ordinary course get his promotion?
§ Mr. HALDANEThe reply to the first part of the question is in the affirmative. As regards the last part of the question, subaltern No. 480 will probably, unless unforeseen circumstances arise, obtain his promotion between 1917 and 1919.
