§ 84. Sir J. D. REESasked the Under-Secretary of State for War whether he can arrange that men who have been in France since February, 1915, can have the preference for a turn of home duty?
§ Mr. MACPHERSONI would refer my hon. Friend to the written reply which I gave on the 21st October to a question on this subject by the hon. Member for Dublin Harbour.
§ Sir J. D. REESMay I ask the right hon. Gentleman—I do not desire to ask in individual cases, though I could provide several—is not this really a case for inquiry?
§ Colonel Lord HENRY CAVENDISH-BENTINCKNow that the operations in Palestine have ceased, can the right hon. Gentleman arrange that men who have been over two years without leave shall have it at once?
§ Mr. MACPHERSONI fancy I have a question on that point later from my hon. Friend.
