§ Sir J. D. REESasked the Under-Secretary for War what will be the position, after the War, of officers of Special Reserve battalions who have been attached to their Line battalions; and will they be junior to young officers who have joined from Sandhurst?
§ Mr. TENNANTThe Special Reserve officers who do not get Regular commissions will, after the War, normally revert to the Special Reserve battalions or supplementary lists, and will cease to be attached to Regular battalions. Those who are granted Regular commissions will take their place in the Regular regiments according to the date of such commissions, and will not be junior to any young officers from Sandhurst who are appointed subsequently.
