HC Deb 20 July 1916 vol 84 c1190
74. Sir C. KINLOCH-COOKE

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether he will consider the possibility of giving some leave to those men of the Fleet who have been on active duty since the outbreak of war?

Dr. MACNAMARA

I can only repeat to my hon. Friend the fact that leave must depend upon the exigencies of the Service. The process of relieving men as circumstances permit is still proceeding.
