I beg to ask the Secretary to the Admiralty; if supplementary lieutenants in the Royal Navy are to have a chance to be promoted the same as other lieutenants in the Royal Navy.

The regulations under which these officers entered (which were established by Order in Council June 29th, 1895,) do not provide for promotion above rank of lieutenant on the active list except for distinguished war service.

May I ask why it is that to-day the Union Jack is not flying over the Admiralty, as well as other public buildings?
