HC Deb 15 October 1946 vol 427 c161W
Colonel Crosthwaite-Eyre

asked the Secretary of State for War whether he is aware that demobilisation Groups 27c to 38 from B.A.O.R., which arrived at the Guildford dispersal centre at 8.30 p.m. on 6th September, were discharged from there at 10.45 p.m. on the same day with no arrangements made for their accommodation; and what steps he has taken to prevent any recurrence of such treatment.

Mr. Bellenger

A release draft from B.A.O.R. arrived at 7.30 p.m. on that day and the men were given the option of release the same evening. Thirty-three of the men decided to remain overnight. The remainder were dealt with at once and were released at about 10.30 p.m., after receiving a hot meal. They were conveyed to the railway station in time for the London trains.
