I propose to take Questions Nos. 44 and 45 together.

I am advised by the military authorities that there are 7 enlisted personnel serving in the Air Corps who have not passed NCO courses but were promoted to the NCO rank of Corporal. Of these, one person was further promoted to the rank of Sergeant or higher.
