§ Mr. INGLEBYasked the Under-Secretary of State for War whether he will consider the extension of the terms of reference of the Committee on Promotion, presided over by the right hon. Gentleman the Member for Dundee, so as to include promotion in the Special Reserve of Officers; and whether two members of this House connected with the Special Reserve could be co-opted for this particular purpose?
§ Mr. MACPHERSONI am arranging that the terms of reference of this Committee shall be extended to include the qustion of the promotion of officers of the Special Reserve. After consideration, I have come to the conclusion that at this stage any alteration of the constitution of the Committee would be inadvisable, but of course the Committee will welcome any representations on behalf of the Special Reserve that may be made to them. The Army Council appreciate the excellent work which the Special736W Reserve has done, as well as the work done by my two hon. and gallant Friends referred to in the question.
