HC Deb 16 August 1916 vol 85 c1846
26. Mr. NEVILLE

asked the Secretary of State for War whether, while men of the rank and file of the regiments included in the Southern Command are usually given six days' leave after twelve weeks' training before leaving for service overseas, officers under the same command before leaving for service overseas are usually refused more than three days' leave; whether there is any reason why officers in the Southern Command should not receive the usual six days' Expeditionary Force leave which officers in other commands are given; and, if not, will he give instructions to that effect?

Mr. FORSTER

I would be glad if my hon. Friend would postpone this question.
