27. Mr. JOWETT

asked the Secretary of State for War if he will see that all soldiers in the Royal Garrison Artillery training school at Winchester, who require it, will be allowed leave to visit their families and to transact domestic business before they are sent to the front?

Mr. FORSTER

Orders have been given to all drafting formations that every man due to go overseas shall as far as possible have embarkation leave.
