§ Mr. ROBINSONasked the Under-Secretary of State for War whether, in view of the strain imposed upon many doctors who have been at the front for several months, he will make use of the services of first-class medical men of the Royal Army Medical Corps now in this country anxious to do duty abroad, and thus relieve for a time those doctors abroad who have been toiling incessantly for months?
§ Mr. TENNANTI imagine my hon. Friend is referring to the temporary commissioned medical officers, and I can assure him that all those who are eligible for foreign service will take their turn at the front.
§ Mr. T. M. HEALYasked the Under-Secretary for War whether the lieutenants of the Regular Royal Army Medical Corps have all been promoted captains; and is it the intention of the Government to promote the lieutenants of the Special Reserve Royal Army Medical Corps, who were in the Special Reserve Royal Army Medical Corps before the outbreak of the War, giving them the same seniority as they had at mobilisation?
§ Mr. TENNANTThe lieutenants of the Regular Royal Army Medical Corps have been promoted to the rank of captain to ensure as far as possible a duo proportion of that rank to the large number of temporary lieutenants now serving. The position of the Special Reserve lieutenants is different. It is not the intention to promote all of these, but it is probable that promotions of some will be made.
