HC Deb 22 June 1948 vol 452 c117W
41. Mr. Marples

asked the Secretary of State for War if he is aware that five months have elapsed since the question of Lieutenant J. L. Addison's claim to the rank of captain while serving in India was raised with his Department; and whether he will now give any information regarding this claim.

Mr. Shinwell

As the hon. Member has been informed the records from India have now arrived in this country and have been carefully scrutinised, but there is no record that the grant of acting rank of captain was approved for Lieutenant Addison for the period of 9th September to 4th December, 1945.
