HC Deb 31 October 1916 vol 86 cc1533-4
105. Mr. CROOKS

asked whether time-expired men are entitled to a furlough at the time of their service being renewed; and, if not, can a recommendation be made that in all such cases leave be granted if at all possible?

Mr. FORSTER

One month's furlough is granted to such men provided they can be spared from military duty and, in the case of men who are overseas, that accommodation on leave boats or transports is available.
