HC Deb 15 February 1939 vol 343 c1712
50. Mr. Beaumont

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Admiralty whether the Admiralty has yet considered the question of the eligibility of certain pensioner writers, who were retained in the Royal Naval Barracks to deal with accounts of men called up on mobilisation during the recent crisis, for leave on the termination of their period of service; and what decision has been arrived at?

Mr. Shakespeare

Men serving in Home Port Establishments are granted leave al certain seasons—Christmas, Easter and the summer—and there is no provision for the grant of a proportion of such leave to men whose service terminates between two leave periods.
