§ Mr. STEWARTasked the Under-Secretary of State for War whether a Territorial officer still ranks as junior to all Regular officers of similar rank irrespective of the relative dates of their commissions; and, if so, will steps be taken now to have this altered?
§ Mr. MACPHERSONNo, Sir; in January, 1915, an Army Order was published under which the rank of Territorial officers carries the same precedence as that of Regular officers, provided that the relative positions on the date of embodiment were not disturbed except by subsequent promotion.
