§ Mr. NEEDHAMasked the Under-Secretary of State for War whether 3155 Acting Company Quartermaster-Sergeant John Lambert, 4th Battalion Manchester Regiment, was, on or about 28th October, 1914, promoted to the rank of company sergeant-major; and, if so, what is the reason he is not holding the rank to which he was promoted?
§ Mr. TENNANTThis non-commissioned officer was appointed company sergeant-major at his depot. He was then sent to the 4th battalion. As this battalion had its full number of company sergeant-majors, he was unable to act as such. He has received the pay of a company sergeant-major.
