HC Deb 01 November 1916 vol 86 cc1731-2
Mr. GEORGE LAMBERT

(by Private Notice):I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War whether the time-expired men of the 4th Reserve Battalion Devon Regiment, recently home from India, now at Hursley Park, Winchester, are to be returned to India without opportunity of visiting their families?

Mr. FORSTER

I am informed that there are no time-expired men from India now with the 4th Reserve Battalion Devon Regiment to whom leave has not been granted.

Mr. LAMBERT

Before they go will they have an opportunity of going home to see their families?

Mr. FORSTER

I understand they have all had leave.
