HC Deb 13 June 1921 vol 143 cc58-9W
Sir T. BRAMSDON

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Admiralty whether, in view of the reply given to Class Request No. 275 in Admiralty Monthly Order 2359/1920, it is likely that in the near future first writers will be promoted to warrant rank?

Mr. AMERY

The claims of all qualified candidates on the list will be duly considered when the next promotions are made, but it is unlikely that any first writers will then be chosen, owing to the number of chief writers on the list who are fully qualified and recommended for promotion, and whose claims on account of seniority are greater.
