Captain CROOKSHANKasked the Secretary of State for War whether, in order to stimulate applications for promotion to non-commissioned rank in the Territorial artillery, he will consider amending the Territorial Force Act so that lance-bombardier and lance-sergeant may become paid ranks?
§ Captain KINGThe question of granting extra pay on promotion to lance ranks in the Territorial Army is under consideration, but I regret that I am not yet in a position to make any announcement. It is a question of amending the regulations, not the Territorial and Reserve Forces Act.
