§ Sir JAMES AGG-GARDNERasked the Secretary of State for War if Captain Rupert Collins, M.D., who entered the Army in 1915 as a captain and left in the present year, after holding the position of divisional officer for three years and receiving highly favourable reports from six successive commanding officers, may be accorded the rank of major to which he is entitled under Army Order 376?
§ Mr. CHURCHILLThis officer did not hold the acting rank of major for the minimum period laid down, and I regret, therefore, that he is not entitled to be granted that rank on demobilisation.
