HC Deb 17 July 1911 vol 28 cc850-1W
Mr. ARTHUR LEE

asked the Undersecretary of State for War, whether the non-commissioned officers passed over for promotion to warrant rank since the promulgation of Army Order 66, of 1910, will be considered with staff-sergeant-majors,, the date of whose warrants are subsequent to 1st April 1910, for promotion to com- missioned rank as assistant paymasters according to their seniority as staff-quartermaster-sergeants provided that the supersession was not for inefficiency?

Colonel SEELY

Should there be no eligible warrant officers available for promotion to commissioned rank the claims of all staff-quartermaster-sergeants would be considered on their merits.
