§ Major Vyvyan Adamsasked the Secretary of State for War, whether he is aware of the hardship often suffered by officers who hold a certain temporary rank and after being casualties for a specified brief period, have to revert to their war substantive rank; and whether he will now provide that, after an officer has satisfactorily performed the duties of his temporary rank for a period of say two or three 190W years, his temporary rank will be converted into war substantive rank.
§ Sir J. GriggThis question was carefully considered before I made the statement in reply to a number of hon. Members on 10th November, 1942, of which I will send my hon. and gallant Friend a copy. I would point out that the proposal in the second part of the Question would not remove though it would mitigate the effect of the regulations referred to in the first part.
