§ 100. Mr. ANDERSONasked the Under-Secretary of State for War what Regulations have been made by the War Office for soldiers who are to stand as Parliamentary candidates if an election should take place during the continuance of the 1554 War; whether they will be granted leave of absence during the election, and, in case an organisation in the constituency desires to hear the views of the prospective candidate, whether he will be granted an opportunity of making such a statement; and whether all Army Regulations in regard to the right of attendance at political meetings and the expression of political opinions will be suspended during any election contest?
§ Mr. MACPHERSONI would refer my hon. Friend to the reply which I gave on the 21st March last to a question by my Noble Friend the Member for Horsham, of which I am sending him a copy.
