The following is shown: Let \(G\) be a finite \(p\)-solvable group, where \(p\) is an odd prime. Suppose that \(\chi\in\text{Irr}(G)\) lifts an irreducible \(p\)-Brauer character. If \(G/N\) is a \(p\)-group, then we prove that the irreducible constituents of \(\chi_N\) lift irreducible Brauer characters of \(N\). (This result was proven for \(|G|\) odd by J. P. Cossey.) The result of the paper under review is sharp, i.e., when \(G\) is a finite non \(p\)-solvable group or when \(p=2\) then there exist counterexamples to the assertion on lifting also given in the paper.
