§ Major Sir CHARLES HUNTERasked the Under-Secretary of State for War if Reserve officers now graded as staff officers, and temporarily occupying posts previously held by officers of higher rank, could for such time have that rank granted them, provided it does not carry any higher rate of pay?
§ Mr. TENNANTStaff appointments do not as a rule carry rank. There are some exceptions to this rule, and in such cases the rank is always given. In the other cases it is not given quite irrespectively of whether the holder is a serving or Reserve officer.
