asked the Undersecretary of State for War if he is aware that quartermasters are now graded for pay with second - lieutenants, although formerly their pay was higher than that of first - lieutenants; whether quartermasters must have three years' service before being qualified for captain's rank without captain's pay, whereas a second-lieutenant is promoted after eighteen months' service and is always eligible for higher rank; and whether he can propose any alteration in favour of quartermasters?

I would refer my hon. and gallant Friend to the reply which I gave on the 25th February to my hon. and gallant Friend the Member for East Belfast.
