§ 36. Mr. Tinkerasked the Secretary of State for War whether he will make it more generally known to those serving in the Army what leaves they are entitled to and the conditions attaching thereto, as it appears, from letters sent by them, they are not fully conversant with these?
§ Sir J. GriggA consolidating Instruction, setting out the conditions of leave in full, has just been issued. This should ensure that all officers and warrant officers understand them and it will be for them to make the position clear to their men.
§ Mr. TinkerI suppose that that will be in Army Orders?
§ Sir J. GriggIt will be an Army Council Instruction.
§ Mr. BellengerWill my right hon. Friend consider issuing this as an Army Order, because the troops do not generally see Army Council Instructions?
§ Sir J. GriggThey can find out what their position is with regard to leave without having to plough through a consolidating Instruction consisting of a dozen pages.
§ Sir W. DavisonWill it be available to Members of Parliament?
§ Sir J. GriggThere is another Question on that point on the Order Paper which will be answered later on.
