HC Deb 28 January 1918 vol 101 cc1298-9
78. Sir A. YEO

asked the Under-Secretary of State for War whether men placed on draft for the East are usually given four clear days' draft leave; whether he is aware that all the leave granted to the men in the Royal Engineers, Wireless Section, at Hitchin, is forty-eight hours; whether this leave was granted before the men were placed on draft, and was in cases quite inadequate; and whether he will see that proper draft leave is granted to all the men concerned?

Mr. MACPHERSON

I would refer my hon. Friend to the answer given on 10th December to my hon. Friend the Member for Haggerston. If my hon. Friend will give me the details of any case he has in mind, I shall be happy to make inquiries.
