HC Deb 23 June 1920 vol 130 cc2193-4W
Lieut.-Colonel POWNALL

asked the Secretary of State for War whether there has been any modification of the recent decision to abolish the rank of brigadier-general; and whether officers who were appointed bigadier-general before it was decided to do away with the rank are to continue to hold it while holding their present appointments?

Mr. CHURCHILL

The decision to abolish the rank of brigadier-general has not been modified, but no date has yet been fixed for bringing it into effect. The future rank and status of officers now holding the rank of brigadier-general are still under consideration. Officers who hold this rank will only continue to do so until its abolition is carried into effect.
