§ SIR HOWARD VINCENT (Sheffield, Central)I beg to ask the Secretary to 1090 the Treasury if directions have been given to all the departments of Government that every facility is to be afforded to all Volunteers in the service of the State to discharge, without loss of pay or regular holiday, the duty laid upon them by the orders of the War Office to attend a camp of instruction this year for twenty-eight days, and in no case for less than fourteen; and if public notification can be made of the fact as an example to private employers.
§ MR. ANSTRUTHER (St. Andrews Burghs) (for Mr. HANBURY)Volunteers in the service of the State who apply for special leave in addition to ordinary leave will receive it (subject to the discretion of heads of departments) up to a maximum of a month, provided that their whole attendance in camp is not less than fourteen days or more than a month. During such special leave they will receive full civil and military pay for fourteen days and military pay for the remainder of the time. Volunteers who spend the whole or part of their ordinary leave in camp will receive during that leave their full civil and military pay.
