HC Deb 06 August 1940 vol 364 c12
20. Sir Robert Young

asked the Secretary of State for War whether the matter of wounded soldiers discharged from hospitals, travelling long distances to report at their depots before going on leave to their homes in distant places, has received his promised consideration; and, if so, with what result?

The Secretary of State for War (Mr. Eden)

An instruction has now been issued authorising the grant of leave direct to their homes for men recommended for such leave on their discharge from hospital.

Sir R. Young

I thank my right hon. Friend for his answer.
