§ MR. BENN (Devonport)I beg to ask the Secretary to the Admiralty whether, in view of the Treasury Minute which grants part payment to Civil servants for leave taken for the purpose of attending certain Volunteer camps when held for the extended period of a fortnight, he will give a like privilege to those Civil servants who attend camps of one week's duration; and, further, whether he will so arrange that leave taken for the purpose of attending such camps shall not be included in the fortnight's leave now allowed by Admiralty regulations.
THE SECRETARY TO THE ADMIRALTY (Mr. PKETYMAN, Suffolk, Wood-bridge)The privilege referred to is given under Treasury Minute which is applicable to all public Departments. Any question as to the extension of this Minute to cover camps of less duration should be addressed to that Department.
