HC Deb 22 January 1918 vol 101 c788
12. Mr. HOGGE

asked whether it is proposed to give all fighting units who went through the 1914–15 winter at the front the opportunity of spending the present winter at home?

Mr. MACPHERSON

I am afraid that this is not possible, in view of the present state of the man-power question.

Mr. BILLING

Is the hon. Gentleman prepared to give no consideration whatsoever to the men who have been serving?
