HC Deb 09 April 1940 vol 359 c485W
Sir R. Gower

asked the Secretary of State for War whether, in accordance with the practice of the last war, an officer on retirement or being invalided out of the Service, will be allowed to retain and use the highest acting or temporary rank he may have held for a total period of six months with the right to wear uniform on proper occasions, provided his period of service has been satisfactory?

Mr. Stanley

No regulations corresponding to those to which my hon. Friend refers have yet been framed to apply to officers serving during the present war.
