§ Sir T. BRAMSDONasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the. Admiralty whether, inasmuch as the question has been under consideration for a very long time, he is now in a position to say what further promotions to senior master, Royal Navy, will be made?
§ Mr. AMMONOf the War and pre-War schoolmasters who are the only officers qualified by service for advancement, all those considered to possess undoubted claims to promotion have gained it. Of tile remainder of these schoolmasters there are a certain number who may possess the necessary qualifications but whose claims have not yet been proved. Consequently, before making further promotions from this group, it has been decided to put those who have been recommended as suitable through an advanced course, as originally provided for in the Regulations. All who qualify in this course will he promoted to senior master.
