HC Deb 23 July 1940 vol 363 c620W
Rear-Admiral Beamish

asked the Secretary of State for War when the Royal Warrant for pay and promotion will be altered so as to allow Territorial Army quartermasters, with six years' service, to be promoted captain in accordance with the recent War Office decision, as such promotion is held up until the amendment is made?

Mr. Eden

The amendment of the regulations will be published in Army Orders for July, but will have retrospective effect to 1st July, and steps are being taken to give effect to it.
