§ Captain WEDGWOOD BENNasked the Under-Secretary of State to the Air Ministry what is the position of a returned prisoner of war as regards substantive rank; and does he lose all chance of the promotion to which he would have been entitled had he not been shot down?
§ Major-General SEELYPrisoners of war on being released are passed to areas, and special orders have been issued that they may be considered for promotion if recommended. Everything is done to make up to them, as far as it is possible to do so, the place they have lost through being taken prisoner.
