HC Deb 28 June 1916 vol 83 cc825-6
32. Mr. NEEDHAM

asked whether soldiers who would have become time-expired men, but who will be retained with the Colours, are to be given a month's furlough at the expiry of their present terms of engagement?

Mr. TENNANT

Soldiers who would have become time-expired men and who are retained with the Colours for the duration of the War under the Military Service Act, 1916 (Section 2), are to be given a month's furlough as far as the exigencies of the Service will allow.
