§ 16. Mr. LYNCHasked the Under-Secretary of State for War whether cases have occurred of wounded soldiers, during convalescence in this country, having been denied the privilege of visiting their homes before returning to the Front; whether such privilege was withheld because a few men of a battalion had overstayed their leave; and whether, in view of the disappointment caused to good soldiers, he will look into the matter with a view of preventing the recurrence of such cases?
§ Mr. TENNANTThe War Office has no information in the sense mentioned by the hon. Gentleman. If he will furnish the name of the battalion, inquiry shall be made.
